I discovered the secret to flipping puberty positive and it's so simple and highly impactful. I'm excited to share my discovery with you.
One of my seven year old students asked me if she had breast cancer! "What makes you ask that?" I asked. She said she felt a lump on her chest.
I reassured her that it was a healthy sign of growth called a breast bud. I called my pediatrician friend and asked if age seven was too early. She assured me this was the new norm and I felt a sense of urgency to drop everything and teach my second graders about puberty so I did! The discovery? They actually got really excited and had such a positive outlook about puberty.
