Hi there 

Isn't it great when one of your kids comes home from school and tells you all about the expeditions of Charles Darwin or Marco Polo?  When they try to reenact a volcanic eruption in your kitchen using ALL your baking soda?  Or propel a rocket across the garden into the neighbour's chimney, all in the name of science!?

Kids love learning and experiencing new things. 

Their curiosity propels them through their formative years, as they soak up information at every turn. Year after year, we see their development blossoming before our eyes.  

And while all this is going on, kids' bodies are changing too. 

Just like any other kind of curiosity and learning, interest in their own bodies can be supported as well.  It's all a normal part of growing up.  But it can be confusing for them as well so guidance and understanding are hugely important.

This week at TheTalk.ie we give parents tips on how to help their children understand that exploring their changing bodies is perfectly normal, the importance of privacy and how to avoid the shame factor.
