Is it normal to have menstruation at 12 years old?

Although children are growing up day by day, the things that parents need to pay attention to are not decreasing at all, but increasing. Especially for families whose babies are girls, parents must pay attention to whether the children's menstrual periods are normal.

Is it normal or abnormal to have periods in primary and secondary schools?

I was chatting with my stepmother a few days ago, and we happened to talk about the growth issues of girls. The neighbor next door asked a question at that time, whether it is normal or abnormal for children to have their periods in elementary and middle school.

The neighbor next door described her current confusion with a worried look on her face. Her little girl is in the sixth grade of primary school this year. She seems to be more "perfect" than other children and is the oldest child in the class.

Not long ago, the little girl suddenly stammered and told her mother that she seemed to be "bleeding". The neighbor was stunned for a long time before realizing that she was having her period.

"I used to think that the child was still young and had not received any education. I didn't expect that she would have her period at such a young age. Before, she only had her period in junior high school. Will this cause any problems?" After telling this story, the neighbor's mother asked worriedly.

In fact, I was a little confused at first, but after knowing the child's age, I learned to feel relieved. Although the little girl is in the sixth grade, she is already twelve years old, which is actually the common age for menstruation.

Maybe it's because the parents only consider that their children are in primary and secondary school, but not the children's own age, so they feel something is wrong.

At what age do girls usually get their periods?

In fact, in terms of age, the general age for girls to have their periods is between 12 and 16 years old, and it is normal within this age group.

Some children who grow up earlier may have their periods at the age of 12, while some children who grow up later may not have their periods until the age of 18. This is all relatively normal.

However, if the baby has his period after the age of 18 or before the age of 12, it means that the baby's language development is delayed or the baby develops too early, and parents still need to pay great attention to it.

Whether it is delayed language development or early growth and development, it is not a good thing for children.

Language delay is a bad physiological condition. If a child has not had menstruation by the age of 18, it may be due to the improper development of the child's urinary system, resulting in private position deformity. This result may make the child more prone to gynecological diseases when he grows up.

Growing and developing too early actually means that the child has precocious puberty and excessive estrogen metabolism. It may cause the child's body to lack the nutrition they need, and even cause the child's height growth to slow down or stop.

So what are the common causes of children’s delayed language development or premature growth and development?

In most cases, children's growth and development problems are due to diet.

Parents should be careful not to let their children consume too much food containing growth hormone, and they should also be careful to avoid excessive intake of fried food.

In addition, multifunctional drinks are not suitable for growing children, as they may cause malnutrition in children.

Children in the growth and development stage need to pay more attention to the nutritional balance of the diet, ensure the balance of meat and vegetables, and do not give children too many other nutritional supplements. Healthy and hygienic food is enough to meet the growth needs of children.

Of course, since we are talking about the menstrual period of girls, there is one thing that must be mentioned, that is, mothers must give their children special sex education as soon as possible.
