His body beefs up, his voice cracks as it changes, he becomes stronger, and he begins to mature sexually. Before you know it, your little boy has become a young man.
Boys mature a little slower than girls. For boys, puberty begins at age 11 on average, although starting as early as age 9 or as late as age 14 is still considered normal. Some boys mature faster than their peers, and some physical changes may be more gradual than others. A number of these physical changes are very personal.
As a parent, you may not notice them, but your son will. Some of these may be embarrassing experiences for him and he will likely keep much of this private. Next comes a growth spurt in height, often around the age of His shoulders will broaden and his muscles will develop more definition too.
Personal hygiene is probably one of the biggest changes for young boys. It may have been hard to get him to wash his hands or take a shower, but now he will need to pay attention to these things as he starts to sweat more and develop body odor. He may soon come to you and ask about shaving the peach fuzz from his face or ask about antiperspirants. His hormones will produce more oil on his skin and he may be prone to acne breakouts. The first sign of puberty actually begins with the growth of your son's testicles and scrotum, which will more than double in volume.
The penis begins by growing in length, followed by width. Around one-third of boys have tiny pearly bumps, called papules, on their penises. These bumps look like pimples and are normal and harmless, though they are permanent. This can occur with or without a sexual dream and is completely normal.
Talking to your son about nocturnal emissions before they happen is helpful so he knows what to expect and that he hasn't accidentally wet the bed. Let him know that it's just another part of puberty and that it'll go away in time. Involuntary erections are another big part of male puberty and they can occur at any time, for absolutely no reason at all. Explain to your son that this may happen for a while, and he will likely have little control over it, but it will get better as he gets older.
Your son's voice will change around the time that his growth spurt has begun to slow down a bit. This occurs because his vocal chords and voice box larynx gain mass too. Before his voice changes completely, it may crack and soar, going from high to low quickly. When your son is first in puberty, his breast tissue may swell a bit for a year or two as some of his hormones change into estrogen.
For the majority of boys, this is temporary and not excessive, though, in some boys, it can be more obvious, especially if they're overweight. If your son's breast area seems excessively swollen or the swelling happens before puberty or later in puberty, see your healthcare provider. There could be a medical problem that's causing this swelling rather than hormones.
Like girls, boys can also have mood swings thanks to the hormonal, physical, and emotional changes they're experiencing. Teen boys will develop physically in certain stages, often called Tanner stages. Your pediatrician or family health care provider can determine what stage your teen is at and if it's expected for his age. With all this growing and developing going on, some girls may be uncomfortable with how their bodies are changing, but it's unhealthy for girls to diet to try to stop any normal weight gain.
If you have any questions about puberty or are worried about your weight, talk to your parent or doctor. One question a girl will have is: When will I get my first period? This usually happens about 2 years after her breasts start to develop.
The menstrual say: MEN-strul period , or monthly cycle, is when blood is released through the vagina. That may sound alarming, but it's normal and it signals that a girl is growing up and her body is preparing so that she can have a baby someday. Here's what's going on: Each of a girl's two ovaries holds thousands of eggs. During the menstrual cycle, an egg is released from one of the ovaries and begins a trip down the fallopian say: fuh- lo -pee-un tube to the uterus, also called the womb.
A girl has two fallopian tubes, one connecting each ovary to the uterus. Before the egg even leaves the ovary, though, hormones stimulate the uterus to build up its inner lining with extra blood and tissue. If the egg gets to the uterus and is fertilized by a sperm cell, it may plant itself in that lining and grow into a baby. The extra blood and tissue nourishes and protects the baby as it develops. But most of the time the egg is only passing through.
When the egg doesn't get fertilized, or if the fertilized egg doesn't become planted in the lining, the uterus no longer needs the extra blood and tissue, so the blood leaves the body through the vagina. This blood is known as a girl's period. A period usually lasts from 2 to 7 days. About 2 weeks after the last period, a new egg is released as the cycle repeats itself. Another thing that may come with puberty is acne say: AK-nee — or pimples — caused by all those hormones at work in the body.
Skin gets oilier and pimples sometimes start showing up when puberty begins, and you may get them throughout the teenage years.
You might see pimples on your face, your upper back, or your upper chest. To help control pimples, wash your face twice a day with warm water and a mild soap or cleanser. Don't squeeze, pick, or pop your pimples. Your doctor can also offer suggestions for clearing up acne.
The good news is that acne usually gets a lot better as you get older. A lot of kids notice that they have a new smell under their arms and in other places when they hit puberty — and it's not a pretty one. That smell is body odor you may have heard people call it B. As you enter puberty, the puberty hormones stimulate the glands in your skin, including the sweat glands under your arms. When sweat and bacteria on your skin get together, it can smell pretty bad. So what can you do to feel less stinky?
Well, keeping clean can stop you from smelling. You might want to take a shower every day, either in the morning before school or at night before bed. Wearing clean clothes and showering after you've been playing sports or exercising is also a good idea. Another way to cut down on body odor is to use deodorant. If you use a deodorant with antiperspirant, it will cut down on sweat as well. Boys and girls will also notice other body changes as they enter puberty. Girls sometimes might see and feel white or clear stuff coming from the vagina.
This doesn't mean anything is wrong — it's called vaginal discharge and is just another sign hormones are changing your body. Boys will begin to get erections this is when the penis fills with blood and becomes hard.
Sometimes erections happen when boys think about sexual things or they can happen for no reason at all. Boys also may experience something called nocturnal emissions or wet dreams.
This is when the penis becomes erect when a boy is sleeping and he ejaculates. Back to Sexual health. Girls develop breasts and start their periods. Boys develop a deeper voice and facial hair will start to appear. But it's different for everyone, so don't worry if your child reaches puberty before or after their friends. It's completely normal for puberty to begin at any point from the ages of 8 to The process can take up to 4 years.
Children who begin puberty either very early before the age of 8 or very late after 14 should see a doctor just to make sure they're in good health. It's normal for breast buds to sometimes be very tender or for one breast to start to develop several months before the other one. Puberty can be a difficult time for children. They're coping with changes in their body, and possibly acne or body odour as well, at a time when they feel self-conscious. But the "emotional rollercoaster" they're on can have psychological and emotional effects, such as:.
