Bonjour.
La règle "officielle" exige "his" lorsqu'il s'agit d'un groupe contenant des garçons et des filles. Mais "their" devient de plus en plus commun, particulièrement à l'oral.
See you.

Bonsoir,
Dans ce cas, each person ----> each individual----->his/her, not their.
You believe all 13th day of a month are unlucky, but you think wrong.
I would say: You believe all the 13th days of (no article) months are unlucky,.....
See you,
