I have a 10 year old daugther and a week before she starts she is really mean and annoying. Does anyone know what to do.

Below is a link to natural remedies for P.M.S.

What works for one person may not be effective for another.

Have her refrain from salty foods and caffeine in sodas,those are two of the major craving prior to a period and they make things worse.

Talk to her and try to make her understand this is very normal but help her to understand that meanness is not acceptable behavior.

Wow 10 is young!

wow 10 is young!

They get younger all the time. There are many theories as to why this happens from increased sunshine (girls that live in the south) to preservatives in our foods.

I agree with the above advice. Now is also a good time to teach her that, while she may feel nasty, it is not acceptable behavior.
