This is the last of a 6-part series on how to teach your children about puberty at home. Read part 1 here.
Do you feel prepared to have “The Talk” with your child? Take a class to get ready and feel more comfortable.
Most parents aren’t sure what to say or not say because they’re not trained to talk about puberty. Plus, their own puberty experience was a long time ago and wasn’t always the most positive. During puberty, many adults missed out on a good puberty education, so they don’t have a model to follow with their own children.
“The Talk” is actually an ongoing series of conversations. Help is available to help parents feel comfortable and get prepared.
