Girl Child Care

If there was one malaise that affects women worldwide, it would be their tendency to place their needs and health concerns last, keeping their family’s needs first and foremost. But if you don’t take care of yourself, who will? And how will you take care of others if you are not in the pink of health yourself? So when it comes to girl child care, not only should it start in the womb, but it is important that the mother too model a healthy regime of healthcare for herself.

When it comes to the facts of girl child care, it is medically well known that a girl’s body requires more calcium, iron and other nutrients in its formative years, as the onset of puberty and menopause much later in life brings about so many hormonal and chemical changes in a woman’s body. Unless girl child care is taken seriously, her body might not be able to withstand childbirth and the many other strains that a woman’s body has to endure in the later stage if not taken care of properly, like osteoporosis for instance. Even if a woman chooses not to be a mother, her body has to be strong for the future and this foundation is laid in her childhood.

Girl child care should ideally start by instilling in the child a healthy sense of self, which is far removed from the images portrayed by the media and the prejudices of society. Looking after her mind and exploring her inner potential and intellectual abilities should be given as much importance as nourishing her body with the right nutrients and food.

Girl child care obviously cannot be complete without the nutritional aspect taken care off. Since a woman’s body needs more iron, calcium and folate, the sources of these should be amply included in the daily diet, from an early age. Apart from this, do not forget to include fresh fruits, vegetables, and meat. Restrict the amount of salt, sugar, and oils in order to maintain a healthy BMI.

For a more detailed nutritional guideline to girl child care, remember to have at least 3 servings of fruit, 4 servings of vegetables, including leafy greens, and six or more servings of grain products. A good combination of carbohydrates and proteins along with calcium sources like milk, cheese, yoghurt, is a must for complete girl child care, from a nutritional standpoint.

It is important to remember that it is not just because girls are the future mothers who are responsible for bringing up healthy children that their health has to be looked after from an early age. Girl child care is important, irrespective of whether the girl will become a mother tomorrow, because it is in the hands of society to bring up a future generation where both boys and girls are treated with equal care, love and affection.
