She didn’t have a happy childhood

After her mother lost a son, Frida Kahlo was born. Her mother entrusted her to a nanny out of depression. She was an icy individual. In particular, the mood at home is depressing. Her father's company was struggling during the Mexican revolution, aside from conflicts in the family and two missing half-sisters since they were sent to the convent.

Moreover, in her early years, Frida Kahlo was not in good health. When she was 6 years old, she was diagnosed with polio and had nine months of bed rest. Her right foot and leg became thinner than her left due to this illness. After overcoming her polio, she walked with a limp. For the remainder of her life, she has covered that by donning long skirts. She is also separated from other kids by the illness. She is known as "Fria la Coja," or "Frida the Lame," since she is unable to attend school. Her early years of schooling are turbulent thereafter. By her father's intentions, she enrolled in a German school but was quickly dismissed for disobedience. This incident demonstrates a strong and impulsive personality from a young age. She then enrolled in and briefly attended a vocational school for women instructors. When her parents learned that one of the teachers had sexually assaulted her, she was expelled from the facility.

However, Frida's father was there to support his daughter while she recovered from the sickness. Although many at the time believed physical activity was "unsuitable" for girls, her dad urged her to participate in many sports to aid in her recovery. She engaged in activities that were quite uncommon for a girl at the time, including wrestling, swimming, and soccer. Her father and she have maintained a tight bond throughout her whole childhood.
