The school nursing team delivers puberty sessions in primary schools, so that children can learn about these changes. It is important that parents also speak to their child about puberty and what to expect so that they feel prepared and confident about growing and developing into adulthood.
Some of the topics you may wish to discuss are:
• personal hygiene
• physical body changes
• feelings and emotions
• healthy relationships
• keeping yourself safe.
In the further information section at the bottom of this page you’ll find useful advice for talking to your child about some of those topics.
