There are topics that we are uncomfortable talking about, even though they are a normal part of our lives. This certainly includes the first period talk<\/strong><\/a>. Am I right?<\/p>

Below you can find some useful tips that will come in handy during this conversation:<\/p>

When is the right time to talk about menstruation?<\/strong><\/h2>

<\/p>

Start the conversation as soon as possible<\/strong>. I definitely recommend that you don’t wait until the last moment <\/strong>and start talking about the changes the body goes through during menstruation only right before or even after your child\u2019s first period.<\/p>

Likewise, don’t plan just one conversation<\/strong> in which you’ll blurt out everything you know about menstruation. Start the conversation several times and each time introduce a different topic (body changes, period product alternatives<\/a>…)<\/p>

A positive view of menstruation<\/strong><\/h2>

<\/p>

Although it’s 2022, society still views menstruation as something dirty and annoying<\/a>. The key is to present children with menstruation in a positive light<\/strong> and emphasize that it is something completely natural and even beautiful<\/strong>.<\/p>

Be concise<\/strong><\/h2>

<\/p>

I don’t think teenagers are interested in long answers to already awkward questions, so keep your answers short, clear and point out the real facts<\/strong>. You can also share your personal experience.<\/p>

Workshop<\/strong><\/h2>

<\/p>

It might also be a good idea for a teen to visit a period workshop. A person who is no stranger to menstrual conversations creates a safe space<\/strong> where a group of peers can discuss menstruation in a positive light<\/strong>, while also addressing fears and shame and eliminating them with the help of appropriate education.<\/p>

Some key pointers<\/strong><\/h2>

<\/p>

Here, of course, you don’t need to present all the useful information at once<\/strong>. It will be enough if you start with tips such as: how to use e.g. inserts (you can also present different sizes).<\/p>

Be careful to present these instructions in a positive light<\/strong>.<\/p>

Of course, you can say that menstruation is often accompanied by a painful stomach, sensitive breasts… but also emphasize that there is a simple solution<\/strong> for these symptoms – a warm hot water bottle, herbal tea or (in more severe cases) painkillers<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
