A Mother’s Story: How Puberty Education Helped My Daughter Feel Safe and Confident
When my daughter was in Primary Three, I noticed changes I was not prepared for. At just seven years old, she began experiencing early signs of puberty, including hair growth. As a mother, I was worried, confused, and unsure how to explain what was happening to her in a way she would understand without causing fear or shame.
My daughter was equally confused. She started asking questions, became withdrawn at times, and I could sense her discomfort especially at school. I feared she might feel abnormal or be teased by her peers.
Everything changed after she participated in a puberty education session facilitated by Center for Tomorrow.
The training explained body changes in a child-friendly, respectful, and reassuring way. My daughter learned that what she was experiencing was normal, that every child grows differently, and that her body was not something to be ashamed of. She was taught basic hygiene, personal boundaries, and how to speak up if she felt uncomfortable.
What touched me most was the confidence I saw in her afterward. She became more open, asked healthy questions at home, and no longer appeared fearful about her body. As a parent, I also gained knowledge — learning how to support her emotionally and practically during this early stage of development.
Today, my daughter is happier, more confident, and better prepared to understand her body. I am deeply grateful for the work Center for Tomorrow is doing. Puberty education is not just important for older children — it is essential even in primary school.
This training gave my child understanding, dignity, and peace — and it gave me confidence as a mother.
