Part of what we're trying to model for our audience is the way that puberty is
intersects with every aspect of a kid's life.
It's not just genitals or breasts or growing bigger or gaining weight.
It's every element of their lives and that the intersection is on adults to recognize and to support in a kind of an interdisciplinary way rather than like a singular targeted way.
And I think in that recognition, it's,
It comforts kids because they might be like, oh, I get that I don't fit in my pants anymore, but I don't get what's happening on the playground in recess that feels super different to me.
And we want people to feel empowered to have those multitudes of conversations with kids as opposed to just, as we say, it's not the talk.
And as Amy Lang says, it's not just the talk.
It's many, many, many talks over time.
And if you don't name it, kids default place to go is it's only me.
I am the only one.
And so being really specific about this stuff is actually super helpful.
A, because developmentally they're better in the details and in the specificity of things.
But B, because then they don't feel alone in it.
Like, oh, there are other people who get pimples on their butt?
Oh, I feel so much better.
I'm not the only one.
Debbie, I'm curious if the term manscaper was new to you also.
No,
The best.
