How do you teach your students about puberty?

Answer 1

this is tough and you have to have guts to do it. think of it as just another chat. if you want get one parent on their own if that helps.just slip it into a conversation and act like it isn't a big deal. it sounds dum but they have gone through it. if you want to buy necessary things(girls) why don't you suggest a girly shopping trip with your mum? i would have been able to help more if i knew if you were a boy or girl.

Answer 2

Teaching students about puberty can be a daunting task, especially when you may feel parents and others are waiting in the wings to criticize. The best advice for teaching this (as well as any other subject), is to become well informed about puberty and learn more about it than you will need to teach. Read, watch videos, discuss with experts in the field, take a course, read some more! So many "health" classes rely on film or videos to avoid having to actively teach the components of the curriculum, when it has been shown time and time again, that live teaching is the best method to keep students engaged. Your approach should be honest and straight forward, you should acknowledge to your class they some of the things you will be talking about may feel uncomfortable. Explain that you'll be talking about their bodies and remind them about what constitutes appropriate behavior when dealing with the subject matter. Don't be afraid to be humorous, as long as you aren't gross or inappropriate. Tensions about the subject can be diffused with gentle humor, and may allow the students to be more open to your teaching. They will also be more likely to ask pertinent questions if they feel you are at ease. This is also where reading up on puberty will stand you in good stead, as students frequently will ask questions not directly covered by the curriculum. They will respect your teaching even more if you can answer their questions honestly and directly. Good Luck!

Answer 3

You can talk general first. And it depends on the boy, his ways on how to approach. Many times its best to talk frankly as the awkwardness lasts for the first few seconds only. Then the child can talk freely too.

Answer 4

You don't necessarily have to ask your dad, you can ask a health teacher at school about puberty. Hope that helps a little for now.

Answer 5

First of all you dont have puberty, you go through it

you dont need to tell your mom she more likely can tell by the way you've been acting, speaking, or looking

Answer 6

My bet is that she may all ready know or suspect that you are close to it. Just tell her. She can help you over the rough spots and give you some info you can use.
