Insights Into Teens: Episode 18 ”The P Word Part 1”

This is the first part of our two part special on Puberty and Periods. This week Madison and Joe discuss what Puberty is, some basic information on adolescents and puberty. They then take a more detailed look at how Puberty affects our children, when it happens and some of the physical and emotional changes that kids face. Madison gives her first hand account of how she is dealing with Puberty, the challenges she faces personally, with friends and at school and we take a look at some of the physical changes that both kids and parents need to be aware of. The second part of this subject will deal with the challenges of adolescent girls coping with having their first period, stigmas that often surround it and the difficulties and life style changes that accompany this next stage in sexual maturity. We'll be joined by a guest host to help us through this sensitive subject.
