I wonder if people have seen the recent controversy around the new Disney Pixar film Turning Red? The film is rated PG, but even so, some parents have complained that the theme, which involves puberty and periods, is not appropriate for children to watch. It’s very revealing in terms of how many parents are clearly NOT talking to their children about periods, keeping their period products hidden from their children, and carrying a lot of shame around periods.
Turning Red: challenging period shame.
