12-year old son: Are the puberty stages constant? Like each month will I go to another stage?
You could say to your son:
Puberty is a very unpredictable process. It is also different for each person.
What we do know is that things generally happen in the same order for most people but there is no way of telling when they will happen or how long they will take.
Boys can start going through puberty as early as 10 or 11 and most will be fully physically developed by the time they are 18 or 19. That’s a lot of growing and changing in a reasonably short time.
