10 is a bit young.....why are you worrying about it? It comes when it comes. Don't scare the kid, for heavens sakes, with worry. Make sure she is educated about periods and she will come to you when it happens.

There aren't any tried and true signs of an impending period - you just wait until it happens. A lot people think they can predict when a girl will start menstruating, but they are usually unreliable. The average is about 2 years after the onset of puebery, after they've already started to hit their growth spurt.

Keep an open conversation with your daughter --make sure she knows what to expect & to let you know if she starts having any symptoms. Think about what age you started ( if you are the mom) and other female family members. I personally have switched to organic milk to cut out some of the hormones -- and hopefully slow down "development"
Breast development is one of the signs, mood swings ---- all the same that women have.

Just talk to her about it so whenever she does get it she won't freak out. I thought I had a tummy ache and my mom gave me pepto then I realized what it really was later...but luckily she had already told me what to do so even thought she wasn't home I just found the pads and waited until she got home to tell her. It was a kind of exciting day & we had a nice bonding moment.
She might not get it until she is 16...don't worry...it's all natural.

As soon as a young girl starts to mature, like she needs a bra, needs to wear deodorant, little cranky, face may break out, or needs to shave, headaches. This is where the mother daughter talks comes in. Bear with her the hormones are starting to kick in. Be patient you were once in her shoes.........REMEMBER?

Talk to your daughter about what you had experienced along with your communication, she will tell you her systomps and you will find out if she is on her way to have it.
