    Emotions

    It may seem like the teenage years and moodiness go hand-in-hand. When children start puberty, changes to hormones, relationships, identity and their body can cause their moods to be more changeable. This can be challenging for both the child and their parent or carer. For parents of children who find it hard to identify and express their emotions this can be even more challenging as new emotions like sexual attraction begin to surface. In this episode we speak with Mitchell, a young man with intellectual disability about how he dealt with his emotions through puberty, and provisional psychologist Hilary Key answers your questions about how to support children with disability with their emotions through puberty.

    Hygiene

    Changes to your child’s body during puberty means they will need to include new activities in their personal care and hygiene routines. For parents and carers of children with intellectual disability and autism this can raise concerns about how they will introduce these new skills to their child to help keep their bodies clean and healthy. They might be worried about teaching their child to shower more often, wear deodorant or how to support them to care for their skin as pimples and acne start to develop. In this episode of Puberty Bites we speak to Kathryn, a mother of a young man with autism and psychologist Zoe Semmler about different strategies you can use to support your child with hygiene as they go through puberty.

    Relationships

    When children start puberty, it is normal for them to want more independence. They might find new friends and fall out with old ones, or start thinking about wanting a boyfriend or girlfriend. This is also the case for children with intellectual disability and/or autism; however they may require more support and preparation to build their independence and make new relationships. This can be a time of uncertainty for parents and carers as they begin to think about their child’s relationships, social skills and how they will change as they grow into an adult. In this episode we talk with Jo, a parent of a young man with disability who is working to overcome his shyness and meet people in his community. Relationships counsellor and sexologist Jodi Rodgers answers your questions about how to support children with disability’s changing relationships during puberty.
