Do this at age 10, then again at 13, then again at 16.
Teaching that a partner should "complete" you can lead to codependency. Instead, education should emphasize self-actualization and being a "whole" person before entering a relationship.
If we only teach biology, we leave young people alone with their confusion. If we teach relationship skills—through direct lessons and the stories they consume—we give them a map for the most exhilarating, awkward, and formative years of their emotional lives.
Furthermore, linking puberty education to relationship skills provides a practical framework for the abstract concept of consent. Consent is not merely a legal checkbox or a single conversation about sex; it is a continuous, nuanced skill of reading verbal and non-verbal cues, expressing one’s own limits, and respecting another’s. These skills are best practiced not in a hypothetical sexual scenario, but in the low-stakes reality of daily friendships and early romantic interests. How do you ask a friend if they are okay with a hug? How do you tell a crush that you are not ready to hold hands? How do you handle the disappointment of not having your feelings reciprocated without lashing out? Puberty education should provide the vocabulary and role-playing opportunities to practice these interactions, turning consent from an intimidating rule into a natural component of empathy.
