Preteen Hormones: What’s Normal & How to Support Them Naturally

The preteen years bring a wave of hormonal changes—for both boys and girls. With this often comes mood swings, changes in energy, and emotional ups and downs that can feel confusing for the whole family.

Hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone begin to shift during this stage, influencing mood, sleep, growth, and behaviour.

Simple Ways to Support Your Preteen

• Focus on whole, nourishing foods
• Prioritise consistent sleep routines
• Encourage open conversations
• Reduce processed foods and sugar
• Support gentle daily movement

These small, consistent habits can make a big difference in how your child feels day to day.
