Popis:	Five focus group discussions were held with 100 mothers of adolescent girls in Awka South LGA of Anambra State to assess their involvement in family life education for their children. The mothers perceived that girls should be told about menstruation only after attaining menarche and their fathers and brothers should not know about it. The girls were told at the time of marriage how they should behave with their parents-in-law, sister-in-law and husband. No information was given about what is intercourse, how conception occurred and on family planning measures. The mothers were uncomfortable about imparting family life education to their daughters. According to them, the girls can get information through their friends and elder sisters. Doctors, nurses, health personnel and teachers could impart family life education and this should be done to the girls only after attaining menarche.
