The Gaping Hole of Puberty Education (and How We're Filling It)
Manage episode 489496479 series 1323209
You can’t outgrow puberty—but maybe we can outlearn how we teach it. This week, Jer and Tay explore a topic often overlooked: puberty education for youth with disabilities. Social worker and doctoral student Jennalyn Suda breaks down how trauma-informed frameworks can radically reshape how we approach this formative stage, especially for students who face additional barriers. From the sensory challenges of menstruation to the cultural and cognitive complexities that shape understanding, Jennalyn sheds light on the gaps in traditional education. The boys dive into awkward memories, laugh about the lessons they never learned, and highlight how shifting the conversation from shame to empowerment might just be the change we need.
