BOYS AND THEIR BODY

Dear parents, do you have a son between the age 10 and 15? 

Have you noticed that the clothes that you got a few weeks ago don’t fit?

Are they concerned about how they look?

Do you notice that they’re always angry?

They’re probably going through puberty. 

Dear parents, It’s good to know about the changes before they happened.

So, today I’m going to share 5 top things a boy can expect when going through puberty.

1. Your son will go through a growth spurt, it’s a time when their body grows tall so fast. So during puberty your son should grow taller. Their feet will grow too. It’s normal 😊
2. They will start having some sensation down there and sometimes have wet dreams. It’s normal. If your son told you about this let them know that it’s ok and that they’re going through puberty. 
3. Another thing that comes with puberty is acne or pimples. Tell them not to touch or squeeze the acne. The good thing about acne is that it usually disappears after adolescence.
4. One of the signs of puberty is hair growing in places that it didn’t grow before. 
5. They will sweat a lot and smell. This is normal, It’s their hormones at work. The best thing to do is to make sure they have a thorough bath daily. Get them a deodorant or antiperspirant for their armpit and dettol soap for bathing. It helps with my son when he was going through puberty 😊.  Their voices will change too. 

So when puberty hits your kids, their body will change a lot! They will experience new emotions, strange feelings and new brains.

So as parents when we educate ourselves on this subject we are going to be ready to deal with them when they start or if we don’t we will lose them and start having a power struggle with them.

By the way, I have just written a book about Girl’s puberty.

If you have a daughter and you want her to be prepared for puberty and everything about girls stuffs, then buy my book! (DEAR GIRL IT’S ALL ABOUT YOU) 

I know for some of us when growing up, our parents did not tell us about puberty or menstruation. When it came we just got on with it.  😄

But as a 21 century parents raising children we should do better. 

Knowledge is power!

The girl book about puberty will be available on Amazon on Friday
