Puberty education is instruction about the physical and emotional changes that occur during adolescence—body development, menstruation, voice changes, sexual feelings, and related topics.
Typically delivered in schools to preteens, it may be part of broader sex education or health curricula: My daughter's school sent home a permission slip for puberty education.
