9. What Parents Can Expect As Their Children and Teenagers Go Through Puberty: Is This Normal?

Puberty in children and teenagers is a process of physical, emotional and psychological growth. Parents often wonder if what their child is experiencing is a normal part of development. Dr. Shanna Garza, host of Total Teen Health and Wellness, offers guidance to parents to know what to expect as their kids develop and when to get help. The pre-teen and teen years can be a challenging time for kids to adjust to their changing bodies and to find the right fit with their peers. Parents can help their kids better understand their bodies and offer reassurance that most of what teens experience is very normal. It's helpful for parents to let their children know that they also felt a certain way or faced the same issues when they were their age.Follow the podcast on Apple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/total-teen-health-and-wellness-a-doctors-guide-for-parents/id1561803110Learn more about the Turning Teen Program:https://turningteen.com/Register for a Turning Teen workshop in Texas:https://turningteen.com/register-for-a-workshop-in-texas/
