Late Bloomers

This Is So Awkward ·

2024/08/02

There’s a timeline for puberty - when it starts and how fast it proceeds - which means that there’s also “early” and “late.” Layered on top is the relativity of puberty: when everyone else is going through it (or not), the person who’s not (or is!) feels out of sync. This episode explores the science behind the timing of puberty and how adults - both parents and doctors - might approach a late bloomer.Show Notes:Join our LESS AWKWARD MEMBERSHIPGo to Quince.com/awkwardfor free shipping and 365-day
