Synopsis

The #1 bestselling Girl’s Body Book includes everything you need to know about growing up, even the embarrassing stuff. The newly updated fifth edition provides advice for parents and addresses questions a pre-teen girl may have while maturing through puberty and starting her period.

"What is happening to my body?"
"How do I fit in?"
"Why is everything different?"

These questions, along with others, leave pre-teen girls feeling confused and parents wondering what to do next. From periods to peer pressure, puberty is hard! The newly updated fifth edition of The Girl’s Body Book helps prepare young girls and their parents for the ups and downs of puberty, middle school, and everything in between. This guide for pre-teen girls addresses issues like changing bodies, personal hygiene, self-confidence, leadership, school safety and #MeToo. This updated fifth edition book for girls is expanded to include topics like:

• Cyberbullying and internet safety
• Emotional health, mindfulness, and self-esteem
• Stress management
• Personal boundaries, communication, and consent
• Sports and leadership
• and more

The Girl’s Body Book helps prepare girls for puberty and beyond by giving them age appropriate information, tools, tips, and tricks to take care of themselves and grow up in a healthy environment.
