Join Columbia experts in pediatrics, endocrinology, and psychiatry for a conversation about what’s new in our understanding of puberty. Panelists will address:

• Signs of puberty and normal ages of development
• Why puberty is occurring earlier than in prior decades
• The effects of early puberty on mental health
• Racial and ethnic differences in the age of puberty onset
• Entering puberty with social media as a backdrop
• What parents at home can do—and pediatricians in the office can counsel—to prepare the whole family for puberty.
