I was nine when I got my period, and that to me is young. The question sounds deeper than your neice getting her period. Why would she have a problem telling her mother about something so natural and expected? Do they generally have a good relationship? A young girl beginning her menstral cycle is something that usually brings mother and daughter together and it opens up the door for more open conversation about the real facts of life. Shouldn't your neice's mother have had the conversation with her already? If they are that far apart, maybe you could act as a mediator and help the two of them become more conscious of the need for them to relate to one another as mother and daughter. Explain to the both of them that a bond between the two, when formed properly is something that can't be broken when the two take act in their natural places. Good luck with this one. My daughter and I argue over 'wings or no wings'.

ok, whether you have a combat your mom continues to be there for you. I even have 2 thoughts I ran by my head when I had to tell my mom. a million. Write a word explaining your 'difficulty' and ask in case you are able to communicate over together with her in private sometime quickly. She's been by this too, don't be embarrassed. 2. tell her. whilst it rather is quiet and she or he isn't busy, tell her which you will desire to communicate. once you're waiting say some thing alongside the lines of, 'mom, some thing surpassed off right this moment. i'm on my era and that i prefer some advice.' sure, you will possibly need to die of embarrassment even nonetheless it rather is extra valuable than your mom interior the process the pads aisle speaking loudly on her cellular to her pal approximately pads and tampons. heavily, it surpassed off to me. Get it out and achieved. you will sense extra valuable and you'd be much less anxious. solid success ~WireWriter P.S continually exchange your pad/tampon each and every 4 hours. you will scent much less and function much less issues approximately 'leakage.' placed on darkish outfits if accessible. If not, continually have a sweater to conceal up. some propose donning 2 units of undies and heading off chilly or candy ingredients. solid success.

Does your niece understand what is happening with her body is the question she is young and i would think not many of her friends would have theirs so i maybe she is on the frightened side of things. Personally if it was my niece i would offer to sit down with her and her mum to tell her...she may see it a little less threatening and when the time comes you can see how the convo is and leave at an oppotune time so to speak to let mum an daughter get some communication going...and well done for being such a great aunty!

Unless the girl is seeking parental advice, there might not even be a reason that her mother needs to know. If the two are close, or share lots of things in their lives, then she should tell her Mom. Try the website below for ways that children tell their parent about their new biological change:

My opion is tell ur niece when she goes to the bathroom to ask her mom for a pad, there's not too much we can help u with this she does need to tell her mom, maybe she should just approach her mother and say im not a kid anymore mom, I got my first period .... the mother will be excited for her and give her a hug or congrads..
Sorry but this is a hard one, the way i did it i called my mom in the bathroom and asked her what that was,,,,hehe " i knew what it was but it was my way of telling my mother i got my first period"

Her Mom should have explained its a natural thing and told her to tell her and she would get the things she needed, sounds like a communication problem between Mother and Daughter. Ask her if she would like you to help her tell her Mom.
