My DS is 11. I have raised him alone since he was 6, and his dad isn't in our lives. In fact this is part of the problem in that there are no men in his life at all outside of teachers at school / activities.
When my daughter (now 14) was his current age, I was able to help with puberty. When she needed a bra and when her periods started we went through it together. My DS knows about body changes etc but I have little idea what to expect or how to help. When/how will he start shaving, for example? What else might I need to do to help him? Perhaps I am worrying about nothing but I was conscious of being a good mum for my DD at that tricky time and had obviously been through it myself so knew what was helpful to me.
He hasn't started puberty yet (certainly nothing noticeable) but it won't be long. I have no brothers or male cousins and neither does he.
Do I need to do anything or am I just worrying over nothing?
