If she's 13, they're not necessarily pm's. At that age, girls are VERY moody just for the sake of being moody! Just listen when she wants to talk and back off when she doesn't. If she wants a shouting match, let her have one (shouting is a sure fire way of letting the steam out!) it won't do either of you any harm (apart from a sore throat! Either that, or just let her yell, but don't yell back. You'll see she'll moan about that aswell! She's a teenager! That's what teenagers do best!
As far as the periods. That's something else that will come naturally. They can't be rushed and the last thing I would wish on anyone is a period!! The only thing with this of course is that there is the possibility that she might be having comments from other girls who have started. Underarm hair, pubic hair and growing boobs will announce when periods are due to arrive. So until that happens, leave her be. She's a blooming flower (a noisy one, but that's the way they come!). Comfort her as best you can. It'll happen when it happens. Good luck!

Although your daughter hasn't started her periods yet her body is going through a lot of changes not just physically but emotionally and mentally too. She doesn't recognise or know how to deal with the symptoms she is getting. I think the best thing a mother can do is sympathise, love and embrace them.
Patience is a virtue-so they say and yes our children do try us sometimes but we have been there before so we can inform and guide them!

hmmm if i were you do not panic my sister didnt begin her periods till she was 15 i started mine at 12. hmm PMS have you had a chat with your GP if you havent that is the first step I would take. The doc will probably refer her to a gynocologist at your local hospital to get her checked over and go over her medical history but do not worry it doesnt sound serious and you never know her periods may start unexpectedly.

I didn't get my period until I was 14, but I had boobs and PMS since I was 11. It was nothing to worry about. I was small and didn't hit 100lbs until I was 15. Girls who are small usu sally take longer to get the hormones all lined up.

Encourage your daughter to take prenatal or womens vitamins can help a lot. Read "Fertility, Cycles and Nutrition" by Marilyn M. Shannon (available from www.ccli.org), it contains a wealth of info for both your daughter and you!

Yes I think it's just a normal moody teenage girl. My 14 year old sister just now barely started and she has been moody since she was 12. But if you are uncomfortable then go see her pediatrician.

she doesn't need a doc! didn't anyone do sex ed? well i taught it. it's normal, just a sign that her body is changing. if everything clicked in at once it'd be too much for one person to go through, so it happens in stages, it just means that the right hormones are working. it happens in different orders for different people, she just got her PMT (PMS) first thats all.

how do you know its pms then, she could just be a moody teenager.
Do nothing
If she is depressed for longer than 2 weeks, take her to a psychologist. Her body will adjust on its own.

Well eaither she is going to have one super soon, or doesn't REALLY have pms. Girls sometimes don't even start until age 16, I wouldn't worry too much!

It's not PMS, it's something I like to call MTS, moody-teenager-syndrome.
