Most girls will be between the ages of 10 and 13, ushering in the first menstrual period of their lives. This moment means that the girl really begins to grow up.
Although this is a sign of growing up, many girls are still nervous, scared, and more shy. In fact, parents are very enlightened, will always pay attention to the changes in their children's bodies, and will also pass on this knowledge to them. In order to make the child less afraid and look at this matter normally.
Of course, it is not excluded that some parents are more subtle, they do not know how to open their mouths, and will only use a sentence of "this is normal, you will understand in the future" to perfunctory. As everyone knows, it is such a sentence that makes children fall into a deep inferiority complex, and even feel that they are "different".
Originally, the heart was already very flustered, but the parents did not realize it, but casually perfunctory. At this time, girls are very sensitive and vulnerable, and need reasonable guidance from their mothers. Otherwise, the seeds of doubt will really be planted in the heart.
In the face of the first visit of menstruation, please tell your child these things carefully and patiently
First thing: Daughter congratulations, you've really grown up!
This sentence, please tell the child seriously, congratulations on her growing up. Adults know that menstrual visits mean fertility, indicating that girls have embarked on another journey in life. Adolescent children, their self-esteem is very strong, and their hearts are very sensitive, and they need their mothers to answer their questions.
The second thing: to popularize the knowledge of various menstrual periods for my daughter
Everyone's state in the menstrual period is different, some girls are alive and jumping, some girls are in pain and doubt life, and there will even be a series of other performances. As a mother, you should popularize this knowledge to the girl, let her understand that all kinds of maladaptations before and after the menstrual period are normal, and learn to protect themselves.
Third thing: use tampons wisely
During menstruation, it is naturally inseparable from the help of good friends "aunt towel". Especially for the first time, many girls do not know how to cope, so it is necessary to teach them to use tampons to cope with various emergencies. This step is important, and it may take a long time if you rely only on the girl to grope independently.
Many mothers may find these things somewhat difficult to talk about, and as they get older, their children will understand themselves. Yes, children will slowly understand, but their inner panic and fear cannot disappear. I even have a fear of "menstruation" and feel like I'm sick.
In addition to telling the girls these three things, there are many important little details of the menstrual period that should be told to them at the same time. Maybe the girl is young now, and occasionally does some excessive behavior during the menstrual period, and there is no obvious harm to the body. But as you get older, those behaviors that were once bad will slowly show up. Therefore, at any time, let the girl learn to love herself.
Before and after menstruation, don't forget to tell your child about these things
1. Pay attention to the mood
Before and after menstruation, there will be obvious changes in mood, inexplicable irritability, and even tantrums, these behaviors are normal. Tell your child to keep an optimistic mindset and treat menstrual visits with a normal mind. Because for many years to come, it will be like a good friend, visiting every month. Therefore, we must learn to regulate our mood, try to reduce the burden on the body, and we can be much happier ourselves.
2. Pay attention to hygiene
Menstrual hygiene is particularly important, in addition to the timely replacement of tampons, underwear should also be changed in time. Also, choose underwear with a pure cotton texture, so that the breathability is good. If you can, in the choice of tampons, we must pursue quality, not a high price of tampons are easy to use, but the quality is guaranteed. Especially in the past two years, many brands of inferior tampons have exploded, and it is terrible to think about.
3, can not eat cold
Adolescent girls are very "greedy", especially in the summer, even during menstruation, they will drink cold drinks and even eat ice cream. These cold foods will enter the body and then cause certain damage. Therefore, we should pay special attention to menstruation, no matter how greedy we are, we must quit eating cold problems, otherwise the consequences are very serious.
4. Pay attention to rest
Although menstruation can not be regarded as illness, at this stage, girls' bodies and psychology are relatively fragile. Therefore, to let them rest well, they must not be too tired, such as strenuous exercise, staying up late and other behaviors, it is best to temporarily shelve for a few days. After the end of menstruation, before continuing the previous activities, only by ensuring adequate sleep and physical strength can you better protect yourself.
By the way, teach girls to do a good job of keeping warm, no matter what the season, do not run barefoot on the floor, avoid the cold entering the body, and do not take a cold bath. Each girl's physical and psychological qualities are different, and mothers must spend more time to answer their questions and accompany them through more firsts in their lives.
