"This is So Awkward" with Dr. Cara Natterson & Vanessa Kroll Bennett

Puberty is Awkward! Here's Where Parent Education Comes In

We had the pleasure of hosting Dr. Cara Natterson & Vanessa Kroll Bennett to talk about their book, "This is So Awkward" over Zoom. Parents listened in on how the process of puberty is incredibly different to their own teenage years in the way that social media has changed all our lives and more. With puberty in the 21st century comes new challeges and territory.

An insightful Q&A followed, and parents left with new tools in their belts! Thank you to Dr. Natterson and Vanessa for their insights.
