How can we better equip parents in talking to their children about menstruation?

Parents should go into a conversation with their child about periods with the intention of teaching them about the process itself, and NOT the stigmas and cultural misconceptions that tend to surround periods. You have the opportunity to change the narrative about periods for your young menstruator to not feel shameful about the period experience. It should be emphasized that periods are a natural occurrence that happens in about half the world’s population.
