Why Teaching Boys About Periods Matters for Everyone

Should boys learn about periods? Absolutely. I remember the first time my son asked me about the pads in our bathroom cabinet. Instead of brushing it off, I took a deep breath and explained what periods are and why they’re a normal part of life. His curiosity was genuine, and our conversation was open and honest. I realized that by teaching him early, I was helping to break the stigma and build empathy. When boys understand periods, they grow into men who support and respect the women in their lives. Let’s raise a generation that’s informed and compassionate. What are your thoughts? Have you had a similar conversation at home?
