When I visited my aunt in Angono, I found out that my 14 y/o cousin kept having her first period secret from her parents and siblings because she was shy. How do you get your tweens and teens open up to you regarding this topic?

I have always been body conscious and was secretive of the girly body changes during my puberty since i grew up with my dad. My mom, knowing that she wont we around as often, already taught us put sanitary napkins before we had ours. Since my mom already gave a heads up regarding that situation, it made me more comfortable to open up or, even if i dont want to, i already know how to handle the situation.
