Glad to see this new subforum. DS turned 13 a month ago and is in 7th grade. Lots of changes upcoming, I think.

I joined when I was pregnant with my now 12 year old. I also have a 7 year old. (and a 24 year old)
as we post about our kids lets keep in mind that these boards are open and searchable by google to anyone on the internet. Wouldn't want our kids or worse yet their friends or schoolmates to figure out who has a pimple in an embarrassing place.

Hi, I am hesitant to be on the tween board as DD1 is 10 but due to her autism and learning disability she is closer to age 3. But that isn't stopping her body from going through puberty. So not looking forward to this as she doesn't understand anything going on with her body. Add the fact that she has limited language she can't tell me what may be bothering her. Still trying to figure out what to do when her period starts and how to deal with wearing a bra. Hoping I can get some ideas from here even with those with NT kids. I have been on the boards since I was looking for information for the kids I was nannying for who are now 15&17. Hard to see them grown up now. Also have a 8 yr DD and a 5 yr old DS.
I have a 12 year old DD in 7th and 9 year old DS in 4th!
Hi Everyone! I'm Kelly from NC. I joined when DS1 was born in 2002. He will be turning 13 in a month! DS2 will be 11 in December and DD thinks she is a teen despite only being 7.
DS1 is in 7th grade and hasn't really started puberty yet, other than the grouchy disposition. I am excited to see this forum because I know I will want the support of the BBB as I navigate the teen years!

M is 13 and in 8th grade. Despite being eye level with me, his doctor has said he hasn't started puberty yet! My husband didn't get his big growth spurt until high school so I imagine M will follow. We are starting to gather high school info! Yikes!
I'm Corie from Ohio.
I joined the BBB when I was pregnant with my son who is now 11.
My daughter is 13 but she is turning 14 this month!!
