To bring up a girl child is a task-fill responsibility most
especially when at the teenage age. It is at the stage they starts developing
sexually and many lies from agents of darkness starts filling their hearts and
head. A little teenage girl asked me in one of my presentations in one of the
schools that if it is bad for a girl to remain a virgin till she marries that
some of her friends said is dangerous and it will affect them during child
birth, more so their husbands will take them for an advantage. Trust me I handled her
rightly and told her the importance of remaining a virgin till marriage, I told her that there is no disadvantage whatsoever.
So as a parent you must bring up your girl child in the
right way. Where I stay, every teenage girl you see on the road is with a child
(single mother), what an urban decay. Here are some helpful tips to raise a
girl child that is firm, discipline, kind, respecful, industrous and reserve.
Tip On How To Raise a
Girl Child

At the age of ten, teach them sex education – tell them all
they need to know about puberty and menstrual cycle. Let them know that the
teenage age is a time to build career and make grades and not to have boy
friends and lovers.
Show them care and concern – try and be their friend,
provide for them all their essentials: under wears sanitary material, pocket
money etc.
Be the first to them I love you – when they do something
good appreciate them and tell them how proud you are. Show them love but don’t
spoil them too much of everything is bad.
From the age of one don’t make love or romance with spouse
in their presence – Always try to be conscious of their presence since little
children will always want to practice what they see adults do.
Don’t allow them to be in the company of other grown up
little children – those children may abuse your girl child, if they are corrupt
and may deflower her with sharp objects.
Don’t allow anyone to call you girl child my wife – words
are powerful you may not know when someone will satanically covenant you child.
Above it is not decent to allow anyone call her my wife.
Don’t allow any male carry them on their laps – uncles are
not exempted. At certain age don’t allow them run around with males. And when
they are found of a particular male investigate what that male is up to.
Don’t be over protective – rather, show love and make them
understand that they have to make you proud and become outstanding in the
society. At the age of fourteen and above, know their friends and be close
them.
Don’t scold them in the presence of their friends – some
parents don’t know that children have little pride to keep. If you don’t want
them to hate you, don’t punish them in public or make them feel ashamed. You
express your displeasure anywhere but make them cry or sorry should be at home.

Be firm and discipline – you don’t have to pamper them or
prefer them to other children, treat them equally but discipline them when the
need arises.
Check their phones – check their inbox and sent items and
photo gallery. Ask questions and make investigations if you have some doubt.
Lead exemplary life style – you can’t ask you child to be
truthful, respectful, kind etc. if you are not. Let you life style speak more.
