And if she doesn’t want to talk to you?
Surely there are many and awkward topics you need to discuss with your daughter as a teen. And it is very likely, as she passes through a challenging phase, that she does not want to share her thoughts and concerns. However, if your daughter is not receptive, you should not abandon the effort.
What matters mostly, at this point, is that your daughter needs correct information about the changes occurring in her body and her period, as she enters puberty, and you are the most suitable person to give her the right directions.
Otherwise, it is most likely that she will take a lot of confusing and inaccurate information from friends or from the internet, which will increase the feeling of fear and insecurity that she has already experienced.
