Hi, My daughters are 5 and 4 so it's a while off yet but when I was at junior school the school had to bring their timing for doing the puberty talks earlier as a girl got her period aged 9. they originally did the talks in fourth year juniors (year 6 now) and had to bring it down to third year juniors (year 5). Don't remember the aversion to washing but I'll have to ask my mum!! Abi |

Catherine, your little girl is probably not very happy with the changes taking place with her body and can't equate it with the need to take more care with her personal hygene. Other than soap and water, just give her a deodorant for now, maybe she could choose her own? introduce moisturisers etc. over time. Once more girls in her class start using these products, she will probably be more than happy to try them. Teresa, mum to two teenage girls |

It is interesting to read this thread and one thing came to me which I thought I might mention. There have been many articles written on the dangers of some ingredients in deodorants and antiperspirants. Some think that there is a link between these products and breast cancer. Would it not be sensible, in view of the young age of these girls using the products, to discourage use of the ones with the 'dodgy' ingredients ? If it will mean our young people are no longer at risk, then that will make things worth looking into. Liz |

My girls didn't start until they were 13, but what has comforted me is hearing about this aversion to washing. My older daughter went through this phase (and the putting the dirty knickers back in the drawer!) - I thought it was just her! Thanks for making me feel better. Sheila. |

Hi Sheila Yes she has occasionally put the dirty Knickers in her drawer, she likes to change clothes as often as possible, even if they are not dirty. She thinks that putting on clean clothes makes her clean. Liz, the deodrants ect never thought about that one, what's the dodgy stuff you have to be aware of then? catherine xx thankyou to everyone's comments, she went off clean and fresh this morning to school. She does admitt to herself that she feels better after a bath/shower. |
