The facilitators on the Betty Bus – part of the Betty for Schools education programme – have spent the last nine months touring UK schools, speaking to pupils aged eight to 12 about periods.
Here, we have asked some of the Betty Bus facilitators to share some tips on how to talk to young children about periods. These tips are applicable for all young people but can be adapted depending on the age group.
Before starting, take yourself back to how you felt at their age and think what questions you would have (liked to have) asked. It is great preparation for what you may be asked.
