Preparing for Puberty’ – A session by Dr. Shuchi Mahajan

Puberty is a perilous time and it is important to distinguish childhood from adolescence, given the many physiological changes that take place during these developmental phases, adolescence is a crucial phase because of the profound hormonal changes that occur at this time.

As result of this, adolescents may feel less in control of themselves and more uncertain about their identities. To understand this age group better, an enriching session on ‘Preparing for Puberty’ was organised by MRIS Charmwood for the parents of Grades VI,VII and VIII. Ms.Shuchi Mahajan, a Master in Physiotherapy and a proud parent of MRIS Charmwood conducted the informative session and emphasised on the importance of physical and mental health. She also shared various ways to help the children cope up with the changes that occur at this age. The session was helpful and gave a new insight to tackle the challenges of this age.
