Casi todo lo relacionado con la pubertad ha cambiado desde que la atravesaron los adultos de hoy. Comienza, en promedio, dos años antes y se extiende hasta la escuela secundaria. . . y para algunos, más allá. Las generaciones Z y Alfa también se enfrentan a toda una serie de cuestiones espinosas que los padres no experimentaron en su propia juventud pero que, sin embargo, necesitan comprender: todo, desde las redes sociales y la pornografía de fácil acceso hasta las identidades de género y las drogas nuevas o potentes. Hablar de todo esto es como la pubertad misma: ¡incómodo! Pero también es fundamental para la salud, la felicidad y la seguridad de los niños de hoy. Los adultos desconcertados han pedido información confiable y identificable sobre la experiencia de los adolescentes modernos. This Is So Awkward responde a su llamado.

Es revelador y tranquilizador, Esto es tan incómodo ayudará a los adultos a comprender la turbulenta década de la pubertad y a convertirse en guías seguros para los niños de hoy.
