Summary
Puberty! It’s a lot. There are the awkward conversations and the questions we’re too nervous to ask and the sometimes uncomfortable experience of living in a body that’s changing fast (and publicly!). This podcast is here to help. Hosted by Molly Bloom, of the award-winning science podcast Brains On, and co-hosted by high schoolers who've just been through it, Puberty! (The podcast) is for everybody — and every body Designed for kids 7-12, the show will cover everything from brain chemicals to consent, in a straight-forward and digestible package. This is a safe space for young people to understand their bodies and their brains, and it’s a resource for parents to tackle otherwise difficult topics. Experts, including Dr. Cara Natterson (Less Awkward), Chris Pepper (Talk to Your Boys), Nora Gelperin (Advocates for Youth), and Erin Walsh (Spark & Stitch Institute), provide science-filled explanations and answer listener questions. This series is a great tool for parents to start conversations with their kids about puberty. The series is thoroughly researched, fact-checked and driven by questions from the Brains On Universe audience. If you have a question you’d like to hear answered on a future episode you can submit them brainson.org/contact And if you’re a parent who lives in Los Angeles, we’re hosting a live conversation at LAist with Dr. Cara Natterson and Dr. Christopher Miller about how to navigate this time in your kid’s life.
