Puberty Class
As a back-to-school surprise, Terren’s third week of 5th grade would be her first 5-day exploration of puberty, taught by a dedicated traveling Bay Area sexual health educator. This was the first time we went to back-to-school night since Terren started kindergarten 6 years ago or Koda started school. Here were some classic questions we fielded this month:
"What does sex feel like?"
“People massage their private parts. It’s some word that begins with an M….Mama, did you do that?”
Mom is not caught off guard many times these days, but this was one of them.
