    My Athletic Son Has Been Asking Me To Get Him Out Of P.E., Now He's Required To Shower After Class. He's Embarrassed About Looking Different From The Smaller Boys? What Do I Say About His Changing Body?

    I am a single mom and have a wonderful daughter who I can understand and can talk to from my personal experience. I often feel unsure about how my son is feeling at this particular age and how to talk to him about sexual development in a normal natural way that will resonate with what he is and will be experiencing. My husband died when Jason was five, and I don't think he had a chance to talk about growing older as a boy. I want to be reassuring and informative - but feel I'm neither. Thanks for helping.

    You could try to find a positive male role model to place in your sons life. i have a friend who is in the same situation. If you can find a man with whom your son feels comfortable with you can have this man talk to your son about this changes he is going through.

    If you feel as though you need to do it yourself, try taking him to a guy thing like a football game or something and really warm him up to you, so he feels like your one of the guys then talk to him. teenage sons are hard to understand, they say girls are worse than boys but i don't think so. Really spend some quality one on one time with your son doing things that he wants to do before you talk to him. you could also talk to his teacher about the showering situation. that might help a little bit
