Puberty Booklet

Today whilst sorting through some paperwork I found the pamphlet my now 17yr old was given aged 9/10 at Primary school discussing puberty . It's titled ' Girls ' . Looking at it no wonder some kids don't have a clue if they don't get a detailed chat or question and answer session off their parents. If anyone is interested I'll add it to my gallery later so you can read it.

I was giving a similar book around 11 or 12.

@Nik did you ever add it? I was given a puberty pamphlet when i was in middle school that wasn’t very detailed. It would be nice to see if the one your kid got is any better than the one I got.

I remember the booklet my mom gave me at 12 which had all the plumbing details nicely covered but she was so embarrassed to leave it on a table for me we never discussed it. shame of sex. shame, shame. so common and so sad.

Yeah. When I was 11 and got my period, as I'm sitting in the bathroom thinking I'm bleeding to death, my mother opens the door a crack and hands me a little booklet "You're growing up" and says let me know if you have any questions with that please don't have any questions look on her face.

I'm very open with my kids, and when my oldest was starting to get hard-ons in class, so I have him the best advice a single mom could give him, lol. I told him to find some place private, like the shower, and try to rub it until white fluid comes out. I thought in theory, that might help with the random hard-ons.

I went from a kid that would take a shower once a month if I made him, to a kid that would take 6 a day if I didn't stop him. I guess that apple didn't fall from the tree LOL.

Huge respect to you for handling that so well with your son! Being a single mom isn’t easy, especially helping an opposite sex child through puberty.
