off kilter

One of the Mom's I'm friends with started about a year ago to deal with this topic, and found her daughter was afraid of the process each month and my friend also found she had problems with the hygiene issue as she has to help her daughter clean up. After a few months her daughter was no longer afraid of the blood but my friend ran into a problem of only being able to guess when her daughters period was coming and the hygiene issue was still there so after talking to her Dr. She took her daughter to a OB-Gyn and her daughter is now on that birth control pills that you only have a period 4X's a year. i know birth control pills for a young girl sounds strange but my stepdaughter ( who has no disability) and is 23 now started on the pill when she was only 13 because her periods were so erratic and painful. On a positive note the pill makes it eaiser to predict when the period will occur and the periods tend to be shorter and lighter. Good luck I hope other Mom's can help. Your not alone in this issue.
