Modern Puberty with Dr. Cara Natterson and Vanessa Kroll Bennett
Episode description
In which Dan talks about puberty--that rite of passage that many of us would sooner forget--and how for kids today it looks and feels so very different from a generation ago. He talks to Dr. Cara Natterson and Vanessa Kroll Bennett, hosts of the excellent Puberty Podcast and co-authors of the forthcoming book This Is So Awkward: Modern Puberty Explained. Dan, Cara, and Vanessa discuss the role adults play in the lives of adolescents, technology, the adolescent brain, and what schools are getting right and could do better. As always, I welcome comments and questions on Twitter, Threads, and Instagram @BigIdeaEd
