#25: The first period and how caretakers can address it

The first period in a girl’s life is momentous but can feel confusing, overwhelming, and even scary. So it’s good to know the basics of what happens during the first period so that it’s less daunting. Also, if you are a caretaker of a girl who might be getting her period soon, or has started her period, we talk through how you can address this potentially uncomfortable conversation so that the girl understands what is going on and feels supported. I am joined with my co-host and good friend, Touseef Mirza.
