Review: Perfect book for answering your daughter's questions related to puberty! - This is a best reference book to answer any question your daughter has during puberty. I had went through alot of reviews then a couple of years later, my daughter got her first period on her 12th birthday. Then I decided it was the right time to explain everything to her. She had already read the Care and Keeping of You 1 book so I decided to order it's second part as a birthday gift to her. She started reading it with enthusiasm and understood everything and gained alot of knowledge. (Better than her receiving half baked knowledge from her friends.) This book talks on your changing body, puberty, changing brain, changing emotions (hormonal imbalance) It also helps you understand how the more mature you fit into what feels like a changing world around you. This guide is filled with helpful facts, doctor tips (real medical advice from a doctor itself!) and answers to questions from girls. This book talks about treating your body in the right way, nutrition and food, skipping meals and junk food, nutritional contents, how to measure your height, body mass index, growing pains, the importance of sleeping, how many hours you should sleep, keeping your hands clean, deodorants and antiperspirant, armpit hair, zits and pimples, weight measurement, hormones like estrogen, progesterone, FSH, LH, (I am a science teacher myself!!) thyroid, insulin, growth hormone, breasts and self-exam, check for breast cancer, bras, folliculitis, pubic hair, shaving, depilatory, tweezing, waxing and bleaching, periods and menstruation (more emphasis on female reproductive organs and scientific function.) how to treat period pains, middleschmirtz, irregular periods, overflow, anaemia, how to insert a tampon, tampons vs pads, infections like UTI, yeast and TSH and how to treat them. panty liners, vaginal discharge, good touch and bad touch, how to manage your moods, body image, eating disorders like anorexia nervosa and bulimia and how to treat them, improving your self esteem, body benefits and sports and fitness, emotions, family time and sibling situation and how to ask for help, peer pressure, different rules, temporary and permanent change and how to acclimatize to different sizes. It does not contain any age inappropriate topics like sex etc. which I'm not comfortable explaining to my daughter just yet. As a science teacher, I recommend this book for your kids to make them understand about human body.
