Warnings about it are written on the little leaflet inside every box, it's something we've been told could happen if you leave one in too long... that tampons can cause toxic shock syndrome.

It's a hot topic of conversation amongst the parents of pre 5 year old children... at what age do you start sending them to school? With more and more people choosing to hold their kids back because they're not physically, emotionally or intellectually ready, we ask whether we're doing the right thing, are we creating more issues and what about those who start earlier?
