Perfect for your pre-teen talk!

I used this book to help me along with my "talk" I had with my daughter. It was perfect with pictures and exact wording to help a 10 y/o starting puberty understand. She still reads over the book occasionally.

where was this book when i was growing up?

i initially bought this book for help in teaching my daughter about beginning puberty and all the changes that would occur with her body. this book teaches so much more! from self esteem, to caring about taking care of your fingernails, teeth, hairbrushes, etc., about changing emotions. every weekend we read 5 pages together (her choice of topics) and go over the information together. the information and pictures together make it easier for her to understand, and for me to teach.

The BEST all-about-being-a-girl book

This book is SO terrific. My daughter, age 9, can't not put her copy down. We read it together and it really helped to guide the discussion about her developing body. By putting puberty in the context of the whole body, not just periods and breasts, it gives a balanced and less overwhelming view of what she can anticipate. I loved how it focussed on the fact that all girls will undergo these changes, but not at the same rate or age. There is no "normal". Highly recommended.

Great resource

This book is perfect for a mother to read with her daughter. Topics are covered in a very appropriate way. Makes talking about sensative issues very comfortable. I wish someone would make one like this but for boys issues!

Great book for Girls!

This book is wonderful. It makes explaining changes simple. It is so easy to follow. My girls love it. It even explains things like how to brush your teeth, take care of your hair, how to choose a bra, it addresses eating disorders, and much more without getting into a sexual aspect, which a lot of books do. I highly recommend this book.
