Hi mummies

Can advise which brand of bra is suitable for sec sch teens?

And should they be wearing wireless or wired bra for school?
Wireless bra for secondary until JC/ Poly gals.
Sports bra if your gal is active and also better during PE.

Puberty stage can be hard for them, best to always support them and listen to them
Agreed, support them always

Whether we like it or not our best option is to embrace it and prepare our daughters for it. It would be best if they have already the idea of puberty and how to handle things so when it comes, they won’t panic and would know what to do.

Do you feel that your child is more 'rebellious' and seems to be 'hiding' things during teenage years?

I think this becomes the norm during teenage years.. parenting a teenager is one of the difficult stages in life. Sometimes it is very difficult to understand them.. lots of mood swings

I just realize that teen-agers nowadays way different from those who were raised in the 80s and 90s
this generation is different from the 80s and 90s because of the technology and the advanced learning but the moral and values should be preserved.

I am also having a hard time understanding my brother's daughter. We have noticed that she always wanted to be alone most of the time and does not join her parents at dinner. I am her favorite aunt and I tried to ask her if what seems to be the problem, she only answers that there is nothing wrong. I could feel that she is telling the truth that she is not having any problems but we are worried that she is starting to build walls against her family. What can we do to bring back her back?
How old is she? It could be a passing phase, but it could lead to bad habits of avoiding the family. If you are sure there are no underlying problems, then you could get the family to work out a compromise - have a few non-negotiables but cut her some slack. For e.g., dinner could be a non-negotiable so she has to eat with the family, but she can be allowed to decline to join the family for some activities, and spend more time alone.

One thing to watch out for is whether she is accessing her phone or computer a lot while alone in her room. If so, her parents should find out what she is watching or reading, and who she might be communicating with. The family might need to impose rules like no computer/phone access in the bedroom, or that the door must remain open. Don't let her get into the thinking that she should have total freedom without some parental supervision.

My name is Shao Yuan, my friends and I are working on a project trying to understand the challenges faced by parents of kids aged 9-12, including puberty and other big life changes. I hope that this is an okay channel to share this, and if it is not i will take this message down but We created this super super quick and easy 3 minute survey and would really appreciate anyone willing to share their experiences with us 🙂

I have been interacting with my cousins and many female kids around pri 4-sec 1 and I realise that sex education in school are not sufficient in their content, would like to find out your thoughts if parents will be willing to send their children to external one-off classes that cover topics such as,menstruation and puberty changes?

Do voice your thoughts as I really would like to know! Thank you! 🙂

I think my parents would’ve died of embarrassment if they had to spend too much time on that topic. They gave me a wonderful book that covered all about puberty. It went through puberty, hygiene, good eating and exercise habits, sleep… It was great, I didn’t have to feel embarrassed with my questions. Although if you’re looking for something that covers sex this doesn’t touch that topic. It’s called The Care and Keeping of You. You can probably get it for like five bucks.
Great suggestion, Juls00. I will find some time to look for this book. Sometimes it's best to let your teenage son/daughter to explore on their own with the guidance of their parents..

She used to be very happy-go-lucky, cheerful. this year she is like a completely different person. I think it’s puberty kicking in just this year. I do miss who she used to be but I guess its part and parcel of transitioning to teenage years. Also, she loves my hubby and hates me. With me, it is arguments over everything.

My 11yo niece hit puberty when she was 9. Yes, she was very mature for her age (I remember she was like a 14-15yo at age 9). she had her first period at 10. Now that she is 11, talking with her is like talking with a 16yo girl.

lylamorris:
Don't worry it's just periods and it happens with every girl at its time. I understand that as the mother you worried but if your daughter sees you stressed then how she handles herself now this is the right time to become a friend of your daughter and teach her to handle periods normally and how it is beneficial. Yes, there is a pain but it teaches us to be patient. If you're confused then just read this article it helps you to talk to your daughter https://www.lylamorris.com/how-to-talk-to-your-daughter-about-her-first-period/ Don't panic just congratulate her on her new journey.

Very useful information. Thanks.

I used to have a lot of pimples on my face last year due to hormonal imbalance and side effects of a certain medicine that I took. But after coming across a sort-of-TCM recipe and tried to make the ‘medicine’ myself, my face really got better (for a span of 3-7 days). If you are interested to find out about the recipe, please feel free to contact me @81889318 (I think it is better for me to provide the information personally to those who need it rather than publicise it here).


Best regards,
Dian Fransiska
