Understanding Testosterone Spikes in Young Boys

Boys experience a testosterone spike between the ages of three to five, similar to a mini puberty. This biological change contributes to behaviors that may seem wild or unruly, as they become more risk-taking and reckless. Many parents are unaware of this developmental stage, which can lead to misunderstandings in their responses to their children's behavior. Highlighting this aspect of male development encourages parents to approach such behaviors with a better understanding of their child's biological changes.
