What is the follicle, or the difficulties of sex education?

Why is it necessary?

The difficulties associated with the sexual education of their own child, especially their daughters, are familiar to every parent. Confusion, which is experienced by both sides of the "frank conversation," makes, at times, postpone it to a later date. The main justification in this situation is the school, because there are already lessons of sex education, where they explain: and what is the follicle, and how menstrual flow, and what means of hygiene should be used during "critical" days.

Yes, such lessons are held in schools, but, as it happens in most cases, as soon as the children learn that the lesson will not be held according to the schedule - it successfully walks. And all the necessary knowledge relating to this issue, the child receives on the street, in vulgar and crude form, from older "comrades". And the parents then only have to wonder where their child "snatched" so many rudiments. Therefore, so that this does not happen, be sure to take the situation into their own hands.

Difficulties understanding

How to explain to the child what is the follicle and why does he need to know all these "indecent" subtleties? Well, firstly, it is worthwhile to clarify one thing: the girl's organism develops much faster, and by the time of the appearance of the first menstrual period (approximately 14-15 years), he is almost completely ready for conception. This legislation does not provide for this age, but "Mother Nature" and "Madame Physiology" all provided, so these "vulgarity" and "indecency" become necessary knowledge at this age.

Secondly: it is much better if the child is ready beforehand, than he will not be prepared and will get into an unpleasant situation, connected with the fright from the sight of blood and shame that all the others will see this blood. Another thing - what words you need to conduct a conversation. And can the child understand them?

Science - to the rescue

The easiest way to explain to a child what a follicle is is to resort to scientific terminology. Only explanations need to be made simple and understandable for all languages. Let it sound like this:

The follicle is a vial in which the egg ripens (the mother cell from which the child grows). He is in a special organ - the ovary, which is only in women (tetenecks, moms, etc.) and is located inside the abdomen, in its lower part. And as soon as it grows, the egg leaves the follicle, and then the woman is ready for the baby to appear (fertilization has taken place). If after a few days this did not happen, then the cell is washed out with blood - menstruation occurs. And it all begins again.

This is just an approximate plan for explaining the situation, but it is enough to get the necessary knowledge. Alternatively, you can provide the story with drawings or illustrations from the textbook. Make the story more detailed (start with stamens and pistils, spider bugs, etc.), explain how to calculate the menstrual cycle, how to use hygiene products. In general, there are lots of options, the main thing is not to overdo it and not to deviate from the topic.

And to be precise ...

If you look at the medical dictionary for what is a follicle, then there will be another explanation: a formation in the form of a bubble in vertebrates. And it can be found in almost any organ. It is not necessary to know the child, but it is useful to know an adult. As well as the fact that the size of the follicle in ovulation should not exceed 1 cm. Any deviation in size (both large and small) can talk about problems with the endocrine system.

Necessary farewell

From the rudeness of a child can not be protected - so is our world. In any case, sooner or later, but the child will learn the "yard" synonyms and what is the follicle, and menstruation, and everything else that is associated with intimate (and not only) life. And without such words a person can become an inferior member of our society, because otherwise, even an excellent medical specialist, any patient will stall his inquiries. Therefore, do not scold the child for using such words, it is better to let him know where and in what situation they should be used, and where - absolutely not. And in general, from the earliest childhood it is necessary to instill love for the classical Russian language, rich in expressions and without vulgarity. And to put such a "beautiful communication" is necessarily the first place, resorting not only to arguments, but also to personal example.
