Enlightening Girls

As far as the children are concerned, girls have peculiar problems than the boys. Some express their problems and some did not. If the girl child could not tell her problem that will cause damage to her health and to mind in the long time.

Since girls' biological formation is different from the boys, they will have some more problems than the boys' have. Till ten years they did not under go big changes. But after that their body will undergo several changes and they could be seen. They did not understand the changes they are undergoing and why only girls have to undergo.

Some girls will ask their parents about the changes and some did not. Some times parents did not answer these questions and chide the child not to ask such questions and tell that they will learn about them in future. Some parents avoid answering.

This will make the girls to become confused. There are no other source than the parents for the girls to clear their doubts. So they keep their doubts in their mind and some become depressive. This will cause them losing concentration on studies and on other activities.

So, it is the parents' duty to explain the girls about their body structure and the problems they are going to undergo in the future. They shall also be told about why the boys show interest in them and shall explain how to avoid boys from doing wrong things.

Parents, particularly mothers shall explain the girls how they are different from the boys and what their physiological structure is. They shall tell what are the private parts of the body and tell how to hide them. They must also tell how to protect the private parts and their importance.

Usually between 12 and 14 years girls achieve puberty and from then onward they undergo lots of changes. They experience monthly periods when some fluids are being released from vagina. The breasts will become big and they will have some sensations.

Girls shall be told about them and what they are. They must be told that they shall forget the sensations and concentrate on the other activities.

It is not good to avoid answers or chide them if they ask questions. Because parents did not know how to explain the things without feeling embarrassment, they fail to explain the girls about the problems. So, parents, particularly mothers shall explain with simple examples. They can take the examples of how a bud changes in to fruit. How a seed produces a plant.

Examples like how bud becomes flower, how a fruit sheds seed and how animals give birth could be taken and with the help of them, things could be explained.

If parents feel embarrassment, they can explain the things in writing. They can write letters to the girls about the body structure (not giving vivid picture) and the functions of the private parts. After achieving puberty they shall be told how to use diapers and how to dispose them.

At school, teachers of biology shall explain the girls and boys separately about the private parts and their functions. If they feel shy then can prepare CDs and cassettes and give one each to the kids so that they can hear them in private.
