I always told Raynbow she could get her ears pierced when she got her period. Unknowingly it was one of the smartest things I ever did. The day she got it, she came and said "Well Mom I guess I get to get my ears pierced today" No awkwardness just excitement. Then we went and she got her ears pierced and I got one done. she spent that whole next week obsessing about her ears, she barely gave having her period a second thought. still now 8 months later it is so not a big deal, just a part of life, and she has never said "this is a pain in the a**" Or anything negative about it.
Good for you mama for being proactive, I think the way we approach it has a truly lasting effect on how they feel about it.
