The Girls' Guide to Growing Up advises girls about their changing bodies, privacy issues, and how to feel their best, including:

-What is puberty?
-Body changes (height & shape, breasts & bras, body hair, skin & blemishes, body odor)
-Emotional changes (moodiness & handling your feelings, sexual feelings & what to do about them, flirting do's & don't's)

The Girls' Guide to Growing Up is written by an experienced sex educator who specializes in working with people with intellectual disabilities and who is also the author of the companion book, The Boys' Guide to Growing Up and the popular Teaching Children with Down Syndrome about Their Bodies, Boundaries, and Sexuality. Parents, physicians, schools, and support groups will want to share this encouraging book with girls to help answer their questions about puberty and reassure them it's all part of growing up.


Review :
A Must Have
I purchased this book back in December when it was first released to have for my 11 year old daughter with Down Syndrome. The book arrived around the same time a friend's daughter (ASD) had her first period so it was put to the test immediately and passed with flying colors!! It covered all the necessary information in a form that her daughter was able to use to successfully manage the surprise onset of her periods! ( she is also 11 and mom thought she had more time so no preparation had been done.)

The information is written in a clear, no frill, practical format with LOTS of very (graphic) helpful pictures that are also tasteful. We also loved the larger font that makes it easier to read. My own daughter has read this book repeatedly and she has asked many good questions that prove she is understanding the content!

I really can not say enough about this book! If you have a young lady with a developmental disability, you really NEED this book. Unlike the other...
Just what I wanted

I am a special ed. teacher. Usually our school nurse teaches family life to our fifth graders. This year it was left to the teachers. I was very nervous. I ended up making a presentation from different resources from the internet. I found this book just before the date to teach family life. I loved how they gave simple clear rules for flirting. The book was well organized. It discussed matters in simplest terms.

Great book for young pre-teens

I got tons of books regarding puberty and growing up. But I found none of them appropriate for my now 11 years old daughter.

This is the only book I found suitable to give to her to read now (other books are for when she's a bit older)

What I liked about this book was that it was very easy to ready with lots of illustrations.

It didn't give much details about genitals, sex and babies. Which is exacttly what I wanted for now.

Just cover about body changes, periods.
