My teenage daughter has reached the age of puberty. How do I explain her about the menstrual cycles?

initially your daughter may get a little scared or grossed out, which is very normal, but i think you should tell her things as they are. it is better to get her prepared now than suddenly experiencing it in school or outside, when she is not yet aware of what is happening to her body. also, i am sure she will be taught about the same in school. if not, you can start the conversation by talking about the sanitary pad ads she may have noticed. tell her this is the way for a female body to prepare for nurturing a baby later on in life. keep it simple, relaxed and very normal, so that she does not feel it is a scary thing that will be a burden to her.
