Getting periods at 9 years is okay. If it was at less than eight years then it needs investigations for early menarche or early onset of puberty. Teach her menstrual hygiene. Good nutrition is of utmost importance with calcium and vitamin D supplements. It may happen that her periods will get prolonged meaning she may bleed for more than the usual 4-5 days. If bleeding is more than 7 days consultation required
