      Puberty can cause you to have lots of different feelings and emotions. Talk to people you trust, including your parents who have been through this before. This can help you cope with the changes you are experiencing. Stay away from alcohol, drugs and tobacco. All of these can harm your body and are addictive. A friendly reminder from a dad 😉

        Hello my 11 year old old just let me sign consent form for the sexuality education in school. They doing to start the topic in term 2. I wonder what does the school really teach? And is it better for the dad to explain rather then mum like me. I can be open minded but things like wet dream I can’t explain much. Anyone can advise?

            It helps to know about the changes that puberty causes before they happen

              I believe that you need to talk with him only with a psychologist. and in general this is a natural process in a child

                Communicating with our boys is the best way to let them understand things that they are experiencing and will experience during their adolescence. Puberty stage is critical especially that our boys will begin to have urge/s. Media will harm our kids if we wont take charge.

                  Our kids need our guidance. As the grow, our control level varies. During their adolescence, we, as parents, must supervise them in a balanced way - not to lax, not to strict. We should often talk to them, especially about sex. We should educate them in a way that they see sex with respect, especially as they become teenagers - a critical part of growing.

                  Proper discipline and upbringing would set them apart.

                    I think it is normal that we tend to be worried and anxious but it is perfectly normal to feel this way.

                    My tots is to be their QnA cos it is better to answer their questions then them going to google for answers.

                    Be as open as we can so that they feel comfortable to share

                      Hi, do you have any good recommendation to a shaving starter kit for youth btwn 14-16? Also, can share if your boys trim/ shave their armpit hair?
                      My teen just turned 13 and he is very inquisitive with the hairs that is growing in this puberty period. He even asked me if he could trim those that is in his private part. I said soon. Did your teens shave theirs too at this age?

                      Your thoughts pls. thanks!

                        Actually, I find it hard since masturbating is part of human nature. Maybe, we just need to be open to our kid about it and explain to him the pros and cons of masturbating. Also, don’t let him watch porn. Always check his computer.
