Created by Jess and a team who teach this for a living.
The Puberty Toolkit was created by Jess VanderWier, a Registered Psychotherapist and mom of three, with a team of experts in child development, mental health, and trauma. Jess has taught body safety and sex education to children and youth for over 10 years. The goal is simple: to help you have these conversations early and often, in plain words, so your child sees you as the person they can ask. This is a practical tool for guiding those conversations, not medical advice or a replacement for professional support.

If this is the talk you keep meaning to start, the pages are ready.
Picture the version where puberty is not a cringe or a crisis in your house, just a normal thing you and your tween work through together, as questions come up. That is what these pages are for. You can start with a single page tonight, and let the rest wait until your child is ready.

Frequently asked questions
We made it with children ages 8 and up in mind. You know your child best, so you do not need to give them everything at once. Start with the worksheets that match the questions they have now, and come back to the rest when they are ready.
It is meant to be done with your child, not handed over. Sit and go through the pages together so questions get answered and your child knows they can come to you with the next one.
That is normal, and it is why the toolkit works in small pieces instead of one big talk. Pick one worksheet about something they are already curious about, keep it light, and let them know the door is open whenever they have a question.
Yes, in detail, including a make-your-own period kit activity.
There are separate sections for the changes in a girl’s body and a boy’s body, so you can start with what is most relevant to your child. Over time, we suggest covering both.
Yes. We made the toolkit with neurodivergent children and youth in mind, and our team has experience teaching these topics to them. The visuals, journalling, and activities give children more than one way to understand and revisit each idea.
Most free printables are a single page or a one-off worksheet. This is 60+ pages covering the whole arc of puberty, from body changes to online safety, in one place, with parent guidance and a do-it-together structure, made by a psychotherapist and a team of child-development and mental-health experts. You are paying for the sequence and the guidance, not just the pages.
It is designed as a printable. Print the pages you want, and print them as many times as you like for your own household.
Your purchase goes through the Nurtured First checkout, and your printable download is available right after, with your order and receipt saved in your account.
