Answers:
Most girls get their first period between the ages of 9 and 16. Most means the majority - not everyone will fall into this category. Anyway, it follows the development of breasts, hips, waist, pubic hair, and a growth spurt. Put those clues together and they usually add up to imminent period alert. In addition, a girl will often weigh at least 100 pounds before menstruation begins.
Usually a first period is very light. It will probably be a few spots of bright red blood or a brown sticky stain that shows up on her underpants.
She might get some mild cramping, like when you have diarrhea, mood swings and eventually she's going to feel as if she's having some discharge. Tell her to bring along an underwear change and a pad in her backpack, and to go to the bathroom as soon as she feels discharge coming out.
