Puberty can be an awkward topic for both parents and kids, but avoiding the conversation doesn't make it go away. In Episode 393 of The Prime Family Podcast, Dr. Skip Wyss and Dr. Julie Wyss break down what parents need to know as their children begin going through puberty. From the first physical signs and changing hormones to body odor, acne, confidence, relationships, and emotional development, puberty brings major changes that families need to be prepared for. Dr. Skip and Dr. Julie discuss why parents should be their child's first resource when questions about their changing body, relationships, sexuality, and self-image begin to arise. They also explain why starting these conversations early can make it easier for kids to come to their parents later when situations become more complicated. You'll also hear their perspective on social media, body image, hygiene, changing friendships, and helping children build confidence as their bodies develop. The goal isn't to make puberty awkward — it's to create an environment where your kids know they can come to you with questions, concerns, and difficult conversations. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 Why puberty can be a tough conversation   00:51 Why parents need to talk about puberty   03:19 How your child's thinking begins to change   05:36 Starting difficult conversations early   06:58 The first signs of puberty   09:19 Body changes, confidence & self-image   11:23 Social media and unrealistic expectations   14:37 Body odor, hygiene & puberty   16:29 Food, acne & changing hormones   18:19 When girls begin experiencing physical changes   20:19 Puberty, friendships & growing up   23:29 Using puberty to strengthen your relationship with your child   25:18 Becoming your child's first resource   If you found this episode helpful, make sure to LIKE the video, SUBSCRIBE to The Prime Family Podcast, and turn on notifications so you don't miss future episodes. #Puberty #Parenting #TeenHealth #Hormones #ChildDevelopment #ParentingTips #FamilyHealth #PrimeFamilyPodcast Welcome to The Prime Family Podcast, where Dr. Skip and Dr. Julie Wyss have real conversations about parenting, family, health, relationships, and raising the next generation.

Do girls really develop faster than boys, and what should parents understand about the differences? In this episode of The Prime Family Podcast, Dr. Skip Wyss and Dr. Julie Wyss break down the developmental differences between boys and girls, including early childhood milestones, brain development, communication, movement, play, and behavior. Parents often compare when their child starts crawling, walking, talking, sitting up, or reaching other developmental milestones. But boys and girls may progress differently, and understanding those differences can help parents avoid creating unnecessary expectations around their child's development. Dr. Skip and Dr. Julie discuss why girls may reach certain developmental milestones earlier, why boys may develop differently during the early years, and how movement, communication, hormones, brain development, and environment can influence childhood development. They also explore how parenting styles, school environments, technology, physical activity, and opportunities to communicate and play can influence the way children learn and develop. Most importantly, every child develops differently. Instead of constantly comparing one child to another, parents can focus on supporting healthy movement, communication, learning, and development throughout childhood. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 – Boys vs. Girls: Who Develops Faster? 00:29 – Meet Dr. Skip & Dr. Julie 01:56 – Developmental Differences Between Boys and Girls 04:26 – Crawling, Rolling, Walking & Early Milestones 10:20 – How Boys and Girls Play & Communicate Differently 12:58 – Parenting, School & Childhood Development 19:42 – Supporting Your Child's Brain Development 👍 If this episode helped you better understand childhood development, LIKE the video and SHARE it with another parent. 🔔 SUBSCRIBE to The Prime Family Podcast for weekly conversations about parenting, child development, pregnancy, family health, wellness, and raising healthy families. #ChildDevelopment #Parenting #BoysVsGirls #BabyDevelopment #DevelopmentalMilestones #BrainDevelopment #ParentingTips #PrimeFamilyPodcast 🌟 Welcome to The Prime Family Podcast! 🌟 Hosted by Dr. Skip Wyss and Dr. Julie Wyss, pediatric, prenatal, and family chiropractors in Green Bay and De Pere, Wisconsin.

Why are kids so sensitive today and are we actually helping them by protecting them from every difficult experience? In this episode of the Prime Family Podcast, Dr. Skip Wyss and Dr. Julie discuss why so many children struggle with stress, failure, disappointment, and emotional regulation, and what parents can do to help their kids become more resilient. They break down how stress and overstimulation can impact children from an early age, why constantly coddling kids may make it harder for them to handle adversity, and why parents need to be leaders, teachers, and a safe place for their children rather than simply trying to be their best friend. Dr. Skip and Dr. Julie also talk about the importance of allowing children to lose, fail, experience disappointment, and work through difficult emotions.

Why are kids more addicted to screens than ever before? The answer may have a lot to do with how quickly technology has changed the way children grow up. In this episode of the Prime Family Podcast, Dr. Skip Wyss and Dr. Julie break down how phones, tablets, video games, and constant access to entertainment are impacting the way children think, communicate, problem-solve, and interact with the world around them.

They also discuss practical ways parents can create healthier boundaries around technology, including limiting devices at home, keeping phones out of bedrooms, encouraging activities away from screens, and recognizing how your own technology habits influence what your children do.
