Regular interaction with children in their teenage and preteen years is very important. Children tend to be influenced by their surroundings and the people around them. Friends, relatives, neighbors, servants; each one of them have an influence on the way young girls think, comprehend and interpret things. Guidance as to what is right and what is wrong is very important at this stage. Parents, specially the mother, should spend maximum time with her children at this stage. In case of working parents, it must be ensured that the mother and the daughter share a healthy relationship and spend quality time with each other. Strictness might not be the solution to all the teenage problems. Any kind of rudeness, anger or authoritative tone from your end will make a child vulnerable.

This is the age when girls notice sexual changes in their body. Enlargement of breasts, pubic hair and menstruation are some of the major changes. Mothers need to be on their toes to help their daughter at every moment of difficulty, uncertainty and doubts. It is important to educate young girls about these changes and the reasons behind them. Sensitive subjects like sex and puberty should not be avoided. Rather they should be deliberately taken up and discussed without any apprehensions or feelings of embarrassment or shame.
