Girlish: The Ultimate Handbook on Puberty for Girls Aged 9 to 12

Girls today are hitting puberty about a year earlier than they did in the 70s... The reality is, your daughter needs to know the ins and outs sooner than you might realize. Adolescence is a tricky phase of life - raging hormones, body changes, friendship struggles, new feelings to navigate... and it's happening to girls at a younger and younger age. If you're worried about whether a young girl in your life is ready for the changes coming her way (or if you're nervous about having 'the talk' with her), a good plan of action is to give her the tools she needs to understand it at her own pace. That's exactly what you'll get with this guide, which is geared specifically towards girls at the very beginning of their journey to adulthood. Rest assured that your daughter... or your granddaughter... or your niece... will find everything she needs to know within these pages - from emotions, to periods, to her changing body... It's all here, and Inside, she'll discover: Puberty is difficult for every child - and talking to them about it isn't much easier. You don't want to step back entirely, but if you know they have a book written especially for them at their disposal, you can relax... Even if it's too awkward to have the exact conversation you'd envisioned, you can rest assured that she'll have all the information she needs whenever she needs it.
