The puberty talk. When is the right age to have it, and how do you have it? 

This week, Ginni and Jo answer two questions about puberty. One from a mum who's daughter has developed early but doesn't want to talk about it, and another from a listener who's daughter has gotten her period but won't use tampons, even while swimming.

Plus, what is the right age to think about hair removal, if at all?

THE END BITS

Being a teenager has changed. A lot. There’s TikTok, vaping, d*ck pics, there are Snap maps, selfies and filters...and it's all a potential battlefield for parents where the stakes feel impossibly high. So welcome to some real parenting talk. As both clinicians and parents, Dr. Ginni Mansberg and clinical psychologist Jo Lamble know first-hand how challenging it can be to raise adolescents. This is why they're bringing their common-sense expertise to Mamamia’s Help! I Have A Teenager. Every week Dr. Ginni and Jo will be answering your questions, and you can submit them at podcast@mamamia.com.au
