SUPPORTING IRISH WOMEN SINCE 2017

The first period (or menarche) is a major milestone, and not just physically. For many girls, it brings a swirl of emotions: curiosity, excitement, confusion, maybe even fear.
Here’s how to support the emotional side of starting a period:
Treat periods as natural, not something to be hidden or whispered about. This builds confidence.
It’s okay for her to feel proud and nervous. Let her know there’s no “right” way to feel.
Answer with honesty, not embarrassment. If she’s too shy to ask out loud, try writing things down.
A small card, note, or gift can make her feel seen and supported without making it a big performance.
Help her recognise the emotional patterns of her cycle, and reassure her that she’s not “too emotional,” just learning about her body.
