The three puberties
Quotes
Throughout your generations every male among you shall be
circumcised when he is eight days old -- Genesis 17:12
A little known fact is there are three
puberties, and these stages are times when hormones play a part in future
development. An all encompassing definition of puberty would be more usefully
given as, "A developmental phase brought about by the action of hormones as part
of the maturing process". The puberty we are familiar with is actually the third
and final puberty occurring in late childhood/early teens. It is commonly
recognised that hormones play a role in the process.
The puberties are pivotal times, deciding the direction for
future growth, and once set up they lock in the tendencies for future growth,
and so in that sense they are pivotal. Anything happening to upset this process
has a profound and far reaching effect, particularly in regard to temperament
and learning abilities.
The puberties are -
1st puberty occurring at 8 days of age. Is a very special period of
change happening only once in the child life. The 1st circumcision is on the 8th
day after birth and lasts for 21 days. The 8th day is precisely at the very time
that the whole Endocrinal system is going through a very special phase of
reshuffle.
2nd puberty is 7 to 9 years. Sexual differentiation & awareness is
not complete before the 7th year.
3rd puberty occurs during age 10-17 years.
