GIHS HEALTH AND WELLNESS WEEK-2019
The success of health week activity and enjoyment are so evident in the children. It had a
great impact on children’s food and hygiene habit.
AWARENESS TALK-PUBERTY-“MY CHANGING BODY”
DATE:-15.4.19
GRADE:-V
Dr.Jeena (School Doctor) conducted an awareness talk creating awareness about
Menstruation, Puberty and Safety for the
children of Grade 5.
The topics discussed were the 3 major growth spurts, understanding changes in each
stage and health and care advice. Other points of discussion were, accepting and
identifying the feelings one experiences during these growth spurts, brain development,
and the importance of making responsible choices at all times. The interactive session by
the Doctor was informative and beneficial as it explained a sensitive topic that is often
considered difficult for parents to address with children. Rather than having
misconceptions grow .The talk helped students ask questions, clarify doubts or
understand a concern/fear. The presentation was followed by an individual Q&A, open to
every student.
