How do you talk to your son about puberty without making it awkward? From voice changes and body hair to attraction, confidence, and relationships, growing up brings questions that boys shouldn't have to figure out alone.
In this episode of the Prime Family Podcast, Dr. Skip Wyss and Dr. Julie discuss puberty in boys and why starting conversations early can help build trust between parents and their sons. They share personal parenting experiences and explore how everyday moments can create opportunities for meaningful conversations.
They discuss the importance of male role models, how boys learn from watching their parents, and teaching respect for women. They also explore talking to your son about pornography, attraction, and healthy relationships while keeping communication open.
The conversation covers body changes during male puberty, including voice changes, body hair, and growing self-consciousness. Dr. Skip and Dr. Julie share their perspectives on helping boys develop confidence, avoiding shame, and respecting their children's boundaries around photos and social media.
If you're raising a son, this episode offers conversation starters for discussing puberty, personal hygiene, and growing up—and helping him feel comfortable coming to you with questions.
