Talking to kids about puberty and their body changes can be a squirmy proposition. The traditional puberty education in school has involved splitting kids up according to gender. It often does not include all kids' experience of puberty, fostering shame and secrecy and alienating kids who may be gender diverse. And often leaving kids with questions about how puberty affects their friends and classmates.
Mistakes Parents Make Talking to Kids About Puberty
- Don't outsource to TikTok
- Don't freak out when kids ask you a question
- Take the time to answer all questions otherwise kids will look somewhere else for the answers.
We got the expert advice from pediatricians Trish Hutchison, MD, FAAP. She collaborated on a new book You-ology: A Puberty Guide for Every Body (American Academy of Pediatrics; April 19, 2022). It embraces an inclusive gender-affirming approach and normalizes puberty for all kids. Kids may not know where to go to get accurate information about how all young people’s bodies change. By Pediatricians Trish Hutchison, MD, FAAP, Kathryn Lowe, MD, FAAP, and Gynecologist Melisa Holmes, MD, FACOG.
