Making It Less Awkward: Navigating the Tween and Teen Years is topic on March 12
Almost everything about puberty has changed since today’s adults went through it. It starts, on average, two years earlier and stretches through high school — and for some, beyond.
Eye-opening and reassuring, This Is So Awkward: Modern Puberty Explained, will help adults understand the turbulent pubescent decade and become confident guides for today’s kids. Register online for this talk that takes place on Tuesday, March 12, from 5:30 to 6:30 pm.
Written by Dr. Cara Natterson, a pediatrician, and Vanessa Kroll Bennett, a puberty educator — together the hosts of a popular podcast on puberty, and moms to six kids between them — this is the handbook everyone has been searching for, and includes:
• Advice about how to talk to kids about almost anything: acne, body odor, growth spurts, eating disorders, mood swings, sexuality, and more
• Science-based explanations for all of puberty’s physical, emotional, and social changes
• What adults needs to know about today’s teen culture
• Invaluable commentary straight from young adults just out the other side of adolescence
Parents/caregivers, students, educators, mental health professionals, and community members welcome! Simultaneous Spanish interpretation will be available. Free admission.
