Understanding Puberty For Boys

October 19, 2026 · 23 min

Show notes

Voice cracks, growth spurts, wet dreams—boys deserve more than a quick, awkward puberty talk. In this episode, Jess shares practical ways to prepare your son for body changes, build hygiene habits, and keep conversations about erections, consent, and relationships open and shame-free. Listen for a compassionate reminder that you don't need perfect words to remain someone your son can turn to.

Become the askable parent your child wants to talk to, respond with confidence to tricky questions, understand the physical and emotional changes your child will experience, and support them through the most common struggles tweens face - from friendship struggles to body image and online safety.
