31. My Kids Are Going Through Puberty! How Do I Deal With It?

Okay everyone, we’re getting real here and talking about the scary P-word - PUBERTY. Did any scary music play after reading that word? Listen, we’ve all been through it but actually being on the receiving end of your child’s hormonal journey is tough. I get it mama, you’re not alone!    In today’s episode, I talk about how to handle your child’s puberty journey and how to best support your child as they go through this intense journey. I share why it’s important not to make the puberty journey about you the parent, how these new experiences can be frightening to your child, why you need to be transparent with your child about their changing bodies, and why your role is to be supportive at the end of the day.    In this episode, we cover:
