This week we sat down with Ellie Rae, an 11-year-old who just started her period, and her mom, Kelly, who gave a lot of thought to preparing her daughter for this stage in her development. Ellie Rae shares her reaction to her mom’s prep talks and how she felt when she started her period at school. Kelly, who is a teacher, shares invaluable information for moms who may be wondering how to get this conversation started.
