Puberty

By the time your daughter reaches puberty, she should already be able to properly care for her vulva, and her parents, have already taught her proper hygiene and vulva care.

Puberty in girls is the time when she changes from a girl into a young woman, who is able to become pregnant and become a mother. There are many changes that take place but the biggest change a girl will experience will be menstruation.

Special note to Dad's:

Your daughter needs your love and support now more than ever. Be involved!! Menstruation and growing up is a normal part of YOUR daughter's life and not something to shy away from. Talk with your daughter about these topics, let her know that you know what she will be experiencing. And when she has her first period, celebrate the day and make a big deal of it... take her out on a special daughter - daddy "date" to her favorite restaurant, buy her flowers, take her shopping.... let her know that you are thrilled about her becoming a young lady!!

Some of the other changes a girl will notice will be that she changes from a girl's body to a young woman's body.

All girls develop and mature at their own pace. In girls, puberty can start anywhere between age 9 and 14.

This is what happens just before and during puberty:

ON THE OUTSIDE

Her whole body grows in height, weight and her waists expand and become contoured in order to have the room in her pelvis for a baby.

Her breasts grow. Starting about 2 years before menarche or first menstruation, the nipples start to bud and the breast begins to grow.

Hair grows on the pubic area, underarms and legs.

Pimples may appear.

Her genitals grow. This includes the vulva, labia majora, labia minora and clitoris, all of which begin to expand and grow. She becomes more easily aroused sexually, with vaginal lubrication and clitoral erections. Before her first period, she may notice a discharge from the vagina that may be whitish in color. Immediately prior to first menstruation, the color may change to light brown. The labia minora, or inner lips, begin to elongate and may protrude from the labia majora or outer lips. The clitoris and clitoral hood become more pronounced.

Also, her emotions will be changing as well. BE PREPARED!!

Parents need to be prepared for all of these changes and this starts with having good communication skills with your daughter. Do not neglect this important time in her life. Talk to her, encourage her and educate her. Make sure she can talk to you about these changes, before these changes start!! If you are too embarrassed to talk to her about sex, menstruation or what she will soon be experiencing, buy a book on the subject, let her read it and make sure that she asks you any questions she may have.

ON THE INSIDE

The genitals inside her body develop. They include the uterus and vagina.

Her uterus grows.

Her vagina gets longer and its walls get more elastic so they can stretch wider.

Her vagina begins lubricating more, especially when sexually aroused.

As girls go through puberty, they get taller, in a short time, they spurt in growth and many become taller than boys of the same age.
