Together We Grow: Nurturing Mother-Daughter Relationships
Embarking on the journey from childhood to adolescence is a transformative time filled with both excitement and uncertainty, as young
individuals navigate the path of self-discovery and growth.
At The HDFC School, Gurgaon, we believe in equipping our students with knowledge and confidence as they navigate through different stages of life.
Under our Health Awareness Program, we recently organized a special Mother-Daughter Program focused on puberty and holistic well-being. It was held
on July 14, 2023, for the mothers and daughters of Grade V and mothers of Grade IV. Our medical officer, Dr. Neetika Sekhon and school counsellor Ms.
Eeshita Wadhera provided a safe and supportive space to our young girls to learn and understand the onset of puberty, along with its physical and emotional changes.
Topics such as menstruation, personal hygiene, vaccinations, and body care were touched upon through open discussions and expert guidance where both mothers
and daughters gained valuable insights into embracing these transformations with grace and self-assurance.
In addition to addressing specific concerns, the program emphasized the importance of adopting a healthy lifestyle. We shared valuable tips on nutrition,
exercise, and selfcare, empowering our young girls to make informed choices for their overall well-being. The mothers and daughters were made aware of
effective coping mechanisms to help them navigate this transition and confidently step into the next phase of life with a positive mindset.
