Check out the You Can Grow Your Own Way podcast to hear Heather Jolly from our Health Promotion team discuss how you can support your neurodivergent child through puberty ⬇️

Ep 27 - Talking to your tween about puberty Part 2 with Heather Jolly - Taboo Topics Part 5

We're back talking all the sticky topics of puberty with Heather Jolly. Today, we deep dive into some of the more daunting changes our bodies can go through and how to discuss them with our neurodivergent tweens.

We chat menstruation, strange sensations and period products. We venture into wet dreams, unexpected erections and body shame. We share tools to take the ick out of the conversation and open up honest and helpful dialogue.

So let's jump in!

You can listen now on all major podcast platforms including:
- Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/ep-27-talking-to-your-tween-about-puberty-part-2-with/id1763975563?i=1000745224140
