10 Year Old Gets Her period...lost for Words!

Hello, My 10 year old niece started her period today. I didnt know what to say to her. Is this normal for her to start this young. I didn't get mine until my 8th grade year going into the 9th. I know thats its a part of being a female but I feel like she is so young. Are kids getting their cycles earlier or was I lucky to get mine so late in life. I have a 7 year old and now I am nervous, I guess I need to start the "how a womans body" talk a little early...I don't know. I just need any kind of input. I'm lost for words. Thanks
