Puberty: what to expect and how to support a child ❤️

🙋‍♀️ Puberty is a period of significant change for a child, when he moves into adolescence. This can be a difficult time for both the child and the parents. We at the "Mother's House" polyclinic want to help you understand and support your child during this important period.

What happens during puberty?
🔵 Physical changes: Growth, development of secondary sexual characteristics, changes in voice, appearance of hair on different parts of the body.
🔵 Emotional changes: Mood swings, increased sensitivity, search for one's own identity.
🔵 Social changes: Desire for independence, changes in friendships, growing interest in romantic relationships.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 For teenagers, puberty becomes a difficult stage when their whole life changes unexpectedly. So, they need parents, their support and security, but also need a new format of relations, where gradual separation takes place, due to greater trust in the child and an unquestioning willingness to be there, no matter what happens.

❤️ Understanding and patience will help your child adapt to changes more easily. Communicate with your child about what is happening with his body and emotions. Listen to her feelings and provide support. Show that you are always there and ready to help in any situation.

👩‍⚕️ Pediatricians and child psychologists of Mother's House will help your child go through all stages of growing up with love and care, supporting both his physical and emotional health. We understand all the difficulties of this period and are ready to provide qualified support.
