Got Books on Puberty?
You notice your teen girl won’t catch a ball anymore and it seems like your son has started wetting the bed. You start looking for your 1970s version of Our Bodies Ourselves. Umm…things have changed a bit including that book. 
There are so many books that are written to help teens navigate the mysterious world of puberty. Seriously, this is a big deal because the morphing that occurs through puberty isn’t always elegant and you never know what you’re going to end up with. Books in the home before something changes are a great way to have your teen have their curiosity quenched while helping them formulate a question or conversation with you. Special things to look for are pictures, small paragraphs and simple sentences and if they incorporate questions asked or answered by teens even better. You want to normalize their curiosity and the unique way they’re going through puberty.
Whether it’s your son that thinks he’s too small or your daughter who thinks she’s too big, books are a great way to support your conversation with your teen about growing up. I said supportnot replace!
