This Is So Awkward: Modern Puberty Explained | Cara Natterson, MD, Vanessa Kroll Bennett

Pickpick

It seems unreal that I‘ll have a teenager in a few years! This book helped me prepare both my emotions and how to tackle tough conversations with my boys. The main goal is to inform and keep channels of communication open. I hope to approach this puberty stuff with humor and understanding. I‘ll need to revisit this book often, as it does a great job of defining each concept (ie-body hair), how it‘s changed over time and how to talk about it.

Centique I have a newly minted teenage boy! One thing ive found surprising is that he is quite comfortable talking about body stuff - if he brings it up first that is. Im not sure if its a generational thing or just my kid, but it has made those conversations much less awkward than i expected. Still got the teen argumentativeness however! Best wishes to you for the years to come xxx 1w

I love Clint Smith‘s writing. This includes some of his keen and straightforward social analysis, always with an eye on historical context. But also a lot of sweetness about young fatherhood.

MallenNC I love his writing too. I don‘t know much about poetry but I know his works for me. And of course 3w
Christine @MallenNC Same! I enjoy reading poetry now and then and know what I like when I read it...but that's about it! 2w

This is a really important book that all parents and educators should read. It shows how the epidemic of mental illness stems directly from our shift from ‘play based‘ to ‘phone based‘ childhoods. The data and evidence in this book is truly mind blowing. I had not heard the term ‘sociogenic illnesses‘ before but it makes total sense to me and something I‘ve long suspected is happening. It‘s not all doom and gloom. There are solutions. Read it!

This book deserves all the attention it is getting. Every parent, every educator, and any person who has an adolescent in their life needs to read this book. I wish I could turn back the clock and do things differently with my children and technology, especially my youngest.

Cupcake12 This sounds really insightful x 3w

Not reading this whole book and I totally disagree with the author‘s “peer contagion” nonsense regarding trans identities… but I have to say this graph is striking. So even though I think Haidt is wrong on other things, maybe we should all go out and spend more time with friends?
