First Period Quiz

2 girls who have completed the first period quiz

A lot of parents struggle with knowing whether it is time to talk to their child about puberty (or not). And they worry about whether they are doing the right thing (or not).

Will I say too much and overwhelm them?

Will I say too little and misinform them?

Do boys need to understand puberty differently than girls?

How do I approach the topic without embarrassing them, or myself?

What if my child shows no interest, or covers their ears while walking away?

This Puberty Quiz is designed to help you work out whether your child is ready to learn about puberty? And if they are, how to get started!

You’ll find more information about periods on my Period Talk page, and everything else about puberty on my Puberty 101 page.
