当你的儿子进入青春期时,你会期待什么

2021年9月13日

As a boy begins to mature, their body and mind go through a lot of changes. It can be tough not only for kids but for their parents too. From growth spurts - and the appetites to match - to strange smells to general moodiness, Dr. 辛迪的假面 shares her expertise to prepare parents for raising a boy going through puberty.

青春期的男孩. Most people think of teen boys eating them out of house and home, needing new clothes because they outgrow them every two weeks, 还有有趣的气味. 好吧, there's more than that, and I'll help you navigate puberty in boys on today's Scope.

I've got a teenager at my house and one who is about to be a teenager. I can definitely say that all of those things that I just mentioned are absolutely true. 但他们的身体到底发生了什么? There's going to be a lot of changes that they may come to you as parents to ask questions about. Puberty in boys can start as early as 9 but really hits between 11 and 14 and lasts for 3 to 4 years. 男孩可以持续生长到18岁甚至20岁.

The first thing your boy will notice is that his private area will be changing. His testicles will get bigger, his penis will grow, and he will get pubic hair. Then comes hair under the arms and on his body, and that's usually when the body odor starts too. And you'll need to make sure to get your son some deodorant and you'll probably also need to stress the importance of hygiene.

接下来是声音变化. Often boys get pretty embarrassed about how their voice cracks as it gets deeper. 在大发娱乐家, we pretty much just laugh about it because my boys know it's normal and it's happening to all their friends as well.

他们的身体也会开始变大, and their muscles will be getting bigger and stronger thanks to testosterone. Testosterone is also what triggers some mood changes in boys, especially the anger issues. 所以要做好准备.

This is also when romances start to blossom so be sure you have the talk with your boys about your family's view on sex, 生育控制, 防止性传播疾病.

睾丸素引起的另一个问题是痤疮. Acne is not caused by not washing your face or by what you eat but by changing hormones. There is a lot of treatments for acne, including many that are over the counter.

Like I said, boys can continue to grow until they are 18 years old. They will usually have a growth spurt of about four to six inches towards the end of puberty. That's also when more body and facial hair shows up and boys need to learn about shaving beards and mustaches.

What about some of the more uncomfortable things that you may need to talk to your teen boy about? 好吧, 男孩开始更容易勃起, and sometimes they happen at embarrassing times like in the hall at school. They also start having nocturnal emissions, otherwise known as wet dreams. This is when they have erections and ejaculations during their sleep. 是很正常的. They have no control over it, and it can happen up to a few times per week.

Remember, puberty happens to all of us who make it to adulthood. While things change from each generation to generation, 有些东西是不变的, like the changes that happen to a boy's body as they go from being a little kid to being a man. 对孩子们来说,这是一个棘手的时期, and if you or your child have any questions about what's going on in their bodies, 一定要向孩子的儿科医生寻求大发娱乐.
