The Puberty Self-Care offers strategies for parents and caregivers who are seeking to support their pre-teen and/or teen as they navigate the journey of puberty. It aims to address some of the common challenges encountered during puberty so that caregivers can empower their children to confidently and independently manage some of the bodily changes that occur in this time.
The masterclass offers a brief overview of the puberty process and tips for approaching the topic with a pre-teen or teen. It then addresses specific challenges related to puberty, such as making decisions to remove body hair, choosing which menstruation products to use and body odour management. It does so by providing therapeutic insights and practical approaches, as well as guidance to resources and other tools aimed at empowering caregivers to address the challenges of puberty effectively.
In doing so, the masterclass seeks to alleviate uncertainty surrounding the initial steps and approaches when navigating puberty, taking into account potential differences in experiences and circumstances. It also acknowledges that for children with or awaiting a diagnosis, this period can be particularly challenging, as changes to routine, emotional regulation, sensory processing and social interactions can have a considerable impact on daily functioning. These impacts are discussed and explored so that caregivers can feel empowered to support their teen through these changes.
Accompanying the masterclass is a digital download that includes visual sequences to support executive functioning and task execution for self-care tasks, along with strategies and links to helpful resources aimed at supporting pre-teens and teens throughout the journey of puberty.
