As a parent, you likely have some questions about puberty and its meaning for your child. The good news is that you can help your child navigate this confusing time by talking to them about it early and often.
This article will talk about what puberty does to the body and how parents can encourage children to feel comfortable discussing their changing bodies.
Focus On Building Trust
- When it comes to conversations about sex, the most important thing is to have them early and often. If you have a young child who has not yet reached puberty and you never bring up the topic of sex (or even if you do), your child may feel uncomfortable coming to you later on with questions or concerns.
- One of the best ways for parents to avoid this problem is by ensuring that their children know that they can come to them anytime, no matter their questions or concern. This means encouraging kids to talk about anything in terms of schoolwork and relationships
