A lot of parents wonder whether it’s time to start talking to their child about puberty.

Will I overwhelm them?
Will I leave it too late?
And how do I start without making it awkward?
Especially if my child rolls their eyes, covers their ears or suddenly finds something very important to do in another room.

This quick parent quiz will help you work out whether your child is ready to start learning about puberty.
