She will come to you when she’s ready. My daughter was the same way she was an early bloomer and it was embarrassing for her. Just let your daughter feel comfortable. She probably knows more then you thunk from school and technology but she probably has a bit of false information mixed in. I am sure she will come to you when she gets her first period or needs pads or razors or a bigger bra. I understand your concern I really do i was the same way and my daughter hated when I bugged her. But for now just let her be.

Acknowledge to her that it’s an embarrassing topic to talk about and point her in the right direction with books and websites so she can get factual information without having to have a conversation with you. The last thing you want is for her to get the wrong info from friends and magazines.
Also, keep the conversation open, kids listen to everything especially when we think they’re not listening. Just talk openly when you’re doing other activities so it’s less awkward.

I bought mine the girls stuff book by Kaz Cooke - the one for 8-12 year olds. Told her if she had. By questions she could ask me. I know she read it as it got moved around her room and creases on the cover from opening 😂

Take a chill pill, wow you are making me uncomfortable! And we have been talking about sex and periods with our kids since birth basically (well not birth, but you know what i mean!) all of my kids ranging from age 4 to 16 know now and have always known about periods, how babies are made, where they come from, we have always used the correct names for things, vaginas and penises and all that and i hve never had a formal sit down ‘lets talk about sex’ conversation with them about it, its just woven through the fabric of our lives. Its really not a big deal at all, dont make it one.

To be honest she probably already knows a lot about sex periods and puberty. She probably knows from school and the internet. My daughter is also 11 and the same way. My daughter started showing early signs as well. She started wearing a cupped bra at age 9. She got her period at age 9 and a half. She got pubic hair at age 8. When I tried to talk to her about all this stuff she kept on saying “ew” or “stop being weird.” I bugged her so much to the point where she said “I already know.” When she said this I asked how she found out . She told me the boys in school watch porn and stuff on the bus so she knows about sex. She also said when she started seeing changes in herself, she would go on YouTube or google them. She said she didn’t need to hear it from me. Your daughter probably knows as well. Although I am not proud of the fact my daughter knew before I could tell her, I am happy we avoided and awkward conversation. Just leave your daughter alone though. She will come to you when she has questions or needs stuff. I promise.

My saving grace was dolly and girlfriend magazines growing up. Maybe something similar?

If you have access to the internet, she knows everything... Chill

I borrowed from the local library, that book “where do I come from” and it’s follow up “what’s happening to me” and we sat together and read it through it and had a good laugh. A couple of years later I did the same for my son and she re-read them and both of them laughed. Keep it lighthearted and remember this is new information it takes a bit of time to sink in.

When she says she 'knows all about it' it's likely the source of her info was the internet or her peers at school. Although some of it is probably factual it could be mixed with a lot of urban myths and misinformation. I'm a school teacher & somehow no matter how much sex ed has improved you still get kids keep popping out with the old 'you can't get an STD from a blow job' and 'pee and menstrual blood come out the same hole' myths.

If she's not keen to talk about it that's fine but maybe leave a book lying around in her room or email her a link to a factual website that appeals to teens - Scarleteen is a good one.

She'll talk to you when and if she's ready :)

Just leave it, she’ll come
To you when she’s ready xx

Pushing it will only make her feel more awkward about it. Have an open conversation about how you will be there when she wants to talk and you can answer any questions she might have. Then leave it. This is my approach with my daughter and we talk when she is comfortable to. I only ever ask her if she is in pain with her periods to tell me before she gets any panadol so I can keep track of how much she is taking and if we need to see a doctor if it gets too bad. Other than that it’s the non-intrusive approach that has worked well for us.

Buy an age appropriate book for her. Try and find someone else she feels comfortable talking to about it like an Aunty

I have tried from when the kids are very young to be very open and age appropriate with them and now my son is hitting puberty he comes and asks questions and same with my daughter. You need to make them feel comfortable

Leave it alone
