How to Talk to Kids About Puberty, Sex, and Changing Bodies with Dr. Cara Natterson

Show Notes

Puberty – everyone goes through it, but few want to talk about it. Except Dr. Cara Natterson. She’s a pediatrician, speaker, educator, and leading voice in tween and teen health. And she’s built a career creating informative, empowering, and engaging ways to discuss hygiene, periods, body image, and yes, eventually, at the appropriate age – sex. Is puberty starting earlier? Is it lasting longer? How do you discuss gambling, and changing bodies with your kid, and how do you prevent that information from trickling down to younger siblings? Chelsea gets all the answers.
