Summary

Welcome to the NEW podcast all about parenting teens with Cat & Nat. Each week we are going to go over topics that you need to know and bring an expert to break down an important topic. New episodes every Monday, go subscribe wherever you listen to your podcasts.

We have a bunch of kids going through puberty so we asked the million dollar question, at what age do we start discussing puberty with our kids? Experts Cara Natterson MD, pediatrician and New York Times bestselling author and Vanessa Kroll Bennett, puberty educator and writer sat down with us to share their valuable insight! Together they host The Puberty Podcast, run Order of Magnitude, the leading brand dedicated to flipping puberty positive and they wrote "This Is So Awkward: Modern Puberty Explained". Cara and Vanessa can be found on Instagram and TikTok @spillingthepubertea. Perhaps their biggest cred, however, is that between them, they parent six teens. For more on Cara and Vanessa check out @caranatterson, @vanessakrollbennett and www.lessawkward.com.

0:25.0	Welcome to the CatNet Parenting Unfiltered podcast where we talk all things
0:34.5	tweens and teens this one is a huge one puberty if you know if you've been
0:38.1	following for a while I have such a hard time wrapping my head around puberty I
0:41.4	don't know why you guys like I don't know why it's so tricky for me because
0:45.7	girl puberty makes so much sense to me. Like girl puberty feels like it happens, it wraps up around 14 and then it's done it feels very very logical I guess
0:59.0	and a timeline which I can completely grasp and comprehend and then boy puberty I just I feel like it starts it stops it goes it they grow it feels like it feels like such a mishmash and that things aren't linear. Like you could have a
1:20.6	12 year old that looks 18 and you could have an 18 year old that looks 12. I don't know many girls that have that.
1:26.5	I feel like most girls at 14 might look 18, but all of them are fairly developed by 14. In humble experience which listen is not a lot but I have
1:36.0	two girls. Nat has one so we've had three girls and I have all of their friends around me and I

1:58.4	what happens to your body. I actually can't talk about boys because I don't know what happens and maybe that's half the problem is other than everything growing and pubes and maybe the occasional wet dream here and there.
2:15.9	I don't know what else to say to,
2:19.7	oh there are voice changing,
2:20.8	to normalize puberty for them but obviously they have
2:25.2	changes going on as well and they also might be like what the hell because hormones
2:31.2	come into effect and I guess there is chin hair and I mean and face hair and you can talk about you know
2:38.4	hygiene with them and grooming but the whole I just feel very lost and very out of touch with puberty.
2:48.0	That's why these experts are so important.
