Hey! I'd like to begin this with a video.
This one is for those who have just had their first period, and are worried and wondering why it hurt, or - who haven't had it yet - but are worried.
I have found that being rational is the way to get rid of your fears - exactly why this video is so good. It's a very oldschool disney-video - where, in a very slow tempo, the reasons for, and the process of menstruation is gone through, step by step.
There is a very natural tone to the video. It has nothing in it of the "avoiding-the-embarrasing-facts" that the sexual education videos had that we watched in school; ok, this isn't sex ed but you get the point.
...you know the narrating voice in old disney movies...? In this movie, that kind of voice is saying things like "So, as we see now - menstruation is just one, routine step in a normal natural cycle, that is going on continuously in the body"<--- which is obviously true, but also very nicely put.
(if your child would like to see the whole process and then, when it happens for her, be able to pinpoint exactly why it feels that way; in that way eliminating fear, this is a very good video for that).
Here is the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDDcn0BroiY
