>>My questions to you are; when did you begin to menstruate? How is that comparable to your daughters or your mother? How do you teach a 9 year old to care for her developing body without freaking her out? Any advice you can give to a young mother who is trying to let go of her baby will help.<<
I was a late bloomer, as were both of my girls. We each felt left out while other girls were maturing more rapidly. I remember lamenting that my girls were growing up and I worried for them. I suggest you teach your daughter about her body and basic sexuality in a gentle, forthright way. Remember, she is doing exactly what she should be doing - growing up - and it is good. I predict you and she will become closer as she goes through the process. Its great being a woman.
