Episode Description
Episode Description:
Your tween came home from school looking like the floor swallowed them whole. Sound familiar? In this episode, Curtis and co-host RH — dad of grown-up kids and veteran of the puberty years — talk honestly (and hilariously) about what to do when your child is embarrassed about body changes and body odour. From the imaginary audience effect to car-ride conversations, deodorant strategy, and the legendary 'whole can incident,' this one is packed with warmth, laughs, and practical advice you can actually use.
In This Episode:
• Why puberty embarrassment is completely normal — and what the 'imaginary audience' effect means for your tween
• The side-by-side conversation technique that actually works (and why 'we need to talk' never does)
• How sharing your own awkward stories can be the most powerful thing you say
• Practical hygiene basics to go over with your kids — and why letting them choose their own products matters
• What to do when another kid says something unkind
• When to involve a doctor or school counselor
• RH's 'whole can of deodorant' incident — possibly the funniest thing we've ever heard
