Let’s talk about how to chat with your kid about puberty,
in a way that makes them feel supported
and able to come to you with any questions or worries they have as they grow up.
Here’s what A LOT of courageous but tongue-tied parents do,
when it comes to chatting about puberty.
They wait to chat with their kids about puberty,
until they begin to see the signs that their kid might be starting to go through it.
And THEN,
they have, or try to have, a conversation with their kid about it.
That makes sense right?
But here’s the problem.
if you don’t talk about any of this stuff with your kid when they are younger and feeling relaxed in their body,
AND THEN suddenly out of the blue start talking about it with your kid while their body is already changing,
there’s going to be a *lot* of awkwardness.
But! Good news.
There are ways to prevent this.
For lots more about how to dive into the complexities of starting ongoing conversations with your kid
about puberty and so much more,
