To parents of older boys (over 7yr).........

[MysteriousMiMi]

Just wondered if you can fill me in on what to expect in the future.
I know a bit about what happens with girls (Periods etc) but just wondered if there was anything I need to know as my DS gets older?
Sorry if this is asking TMI.
He is now 8 years old.

Good question!

ds is just 9 so we have all this ahead of us too.

There's a great girls' book called 'what's happening to me' that I'm thinking of getting in the boys' equivilent (and just leave it lying around his room).

I've noticed more bad-temper than usual which I've put down to hormones/growing.

Hope we can find out more!

But also check out the 'pre-teens' topic.

which I've found invaluable for my older .
