      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.

                    Can I ask on the physical aspect of puberty? My boy just turned 11 a month back. He has a peach fuzz moustache and he says he has short pubic hair starting to sprout. Also some pimples on his cheeks. Is this too early?

                      For me I find it early but, you need not to worry as it is normal. Next thing will happen is his voice begins to change as muscles get larger.

                        Actually this peach fuzz above his lips already there since last year. I have always been a little concerned over it but doctor never say anything. My husband went to check, he say the pubic hair is not the rough curly type. Just fine hair but longer than usual. Is that the start? He is still skinny… just taller. The voice change and muscles, roughly how fast? Not even P6… and only 1.49m tall I’m wondering how much more he can grow only …
