Path to improved well being

The changes associated with puberty can be difficult. Many girls anxiously await the opportunity to wear a bra for the first time or think about becoming a mom in the future. All other changes, such as your daughter’s first period (menstrual cycle) or changes to her size (wider hips) can be scary. Break it down for your daughter by explaining the stages of puberty that will affect her physically and emotionally. Girls begin puberty at different ages. It can start as early as age 9. By age 15, most girls have fully developed. It’s during these years that both her body and her emotions will change.

Physical changes

In the first stage, breast development begins with the appearance of small, breast buds under the nipples. It could be 2 additional years before her breasts fully develop. Hair growth will begin on her arms, legs, armpits, and pubic area. They will begin to sweat more and produce body odor during physical activity, and pimples may begin to appear. Girls will also experience an increase in height and weight to prepare for their periods. Your daughter may notice that her arms, thighs, hips, and upper back have become fuller and wider. Eventually, her first menstrual period will start. Most girls have their first menstrual period at age 12 or 13. Some girls experience it earlier and others get it much later. Girls may grow 10 inches and add 25 pounds to their bodies before they have their first period. Tell your daughter what to expect during her period. In addition to vaginal bleeding, she may experience nausea, stomach cramps, bloating, diarrhea, back pain, breast pain, and fatigue. A period can last between 2 and 7 days. On average, a period occurs every 28 days. However, it is different for everyone. The first year of your daughter’s periods may be irregular, occurring inconsistently every month or every other month. Girls often start by using menstrual pads for their first year and transition to tampons when they are ready. Talk with your daughter’s doctor to determine when she can use tampons (a menstrual hygiene product inserted into the vagina). Tell her to change her tampon every 4 hours. Research shows that leaving a tampon inside the vagina for an excessive amount of time can increase the risk of Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS), a serious staph (Staphylococcus aureus) infection caused by bacteria that can enter the bloodstream. In the case of tampon use, researchers believe that inserting a tampon can scratch the vagina and make it vulnerable to an infection. They also think tampons made with artificial fibers are more likely to trap bacteria than tampons made with 100 percent cotton.

Emotional changes

Emotion isn’t new to girls. However, many young girls will experience a wider range of emotions when they begin puberty. Sometimes it will feel like a “storm” of emotions, ranging from irritability to sadness. Your daughter may experience confidence issues for the first time in her life. Fortunately, emotions start to level out by the end of puberty. They may flair up around the time of your daughter’s period. Often called PMS (pre-menstrual syndrome), hormonal changes occurring each month around your daughter’s period can bring about anxiety, irritability, sleeplessness, and sadness.

Which month kids are intelligent?

travelandleisure.com - The Smartest People Were Born in This Month, Study Suggests (Video)

You may think you're smart — but are you smarter than someone born in September?

Those born in September are, apparently, the smartest out of the entire year. According to Marie Claire, a study published in the National Bureau of Economic Research found that there's a clear correlation between the month during which you were born and how smart you are. The study, entitled "School Starting Age and Cognitive Development," found that schoolchildren born in September were more likely to have higher GPAs than those born in any other month. But don't worry, everybody else born in the 11 other months: It's not like a September baby's (perceived) intelligence was the cause of annual divine intervention in the ninth month of the year. The school system is set up to favor children born around this time. Researchers found that "being relatively old for grade (being born in September versus August)" was more likely to result in better grades. This seems to be supported by the fact that those born in August — and are 11 months younger — were most likely to have the lowest grades. However, this study took place in Florida where the cut-off for school enrollment is Sep. 1. In other states, like New York, that cut-off can be as late as Dec. 31, which would likely skew results. But also, apparently, the study found out that those born in September were the least likely to go to prison, according to Marie Claire. So there may be something to the ninth month magic, after all.
