  • Summary

  • This is so awkward…but it doesn’t have to be. These days, puberty starts earlier, lasts longer, and happens with a cellphone in hand. The most trusted voices on puberty, Dr. Cara Natterson and Vanessa Kroll Bennett, are here to remove cringe from this stage of life – not just for kids going through it but also the adults who care about them. With science, guidance and humor, they cover all the physical, emotional, and social changes that happen between ages 8-18 and beyond.

    Plastic Surgery in Teens (and Tweens!) with Dr. Steven Teitelbaum
    Jul 16 2024
    Young people get plastic surgery for a host of reasons, sometimes related to health and sometimes cosmetic. Plastic surgeon Dr. Steven Teitelbaum helps people put aside any judgment by explaining the various physical and emotional reasons why kids might get surgeries like breast reduction, breast augmentation, or rhinoplasty (AKA nose jobs)… and why at times they should not go under the knife.

puberty really is complicated for all of us

I loved how they helped us to see that we were not alone in this puberty labyrinth, we all make mistakes and stick our feet in our mouths but we can all backtrack and try again because puberty, how we talk about it, and how our kids deal with it is different for everyone.
I just wish there were more episodes right now, because I'm going through it with my daughter and y'all have helped me to step back and breathe more than once.
