Editorial Review: Product Description: The bestselling guides for preteens and teens updated with a brand-new look. The Madaras growing-up guides are acknowledged by parents, educators, librarians, and doctors for their unique, nonthreatening style, excellent organization, and thorough coverage of both the physical and emotional issues surrounding puberty and adolescence. And kids love them too! As one fan wrote, "Dear Lynda, I can't believe that you, a mom, knew all this stuff!" "What's Happening to My Body?" for Girls features detailed coverage, in age-appropriate language, of the body's changing size and shape, the growth spurt, the reproductive organs, the menstrual cycle, romantic and sexual feelings, puberty in the opposite sex, and much more. Includes a comprehensive resource section and line drawings. For ages 10 and up. The new editions feature: • Fresh new cover design for series • Entirely redesigned interiors with new illustrations • Uniform trim sizes for display • New author introductions • Updated resource sections and content • 50 black-and-white drawings Amazon.com Review: "I kept wanting it to happen. When it did I remember thinking, 'It's about time.'" "I was worried at first. Then it really wasn't so bad after all." "I remember my brothers weren't allowed to hit me in the chest anymore. I was kind of pleased about that." What mysterious condition are these now grown-up girls talking about? Ah, yes, puberty! With scads of personal stories and an abundance of useful, detailed information about girls' changing bodies and feelings, author Lynda Madaras and her daughter Area Madaras have expanded their guide for girls on the verge of change. First published in 1983, the bestselling classic has been revised and updated several times over the years to keep up with ever evolving facts and wisdom about puberty in girls. In this third edition, the authors continue their straight talk on the menstrual cycle, reproductive organs, breasts, emotional changes, puberty in boys, body hair, pimples, masturbation, and all the other fun, scary, and interesting things that go along with growing up. Filled with anecdotes, illustrations, diagrams, and honest, sensitive, nonjudgmental information for the young girl, the revised edition also addresses the new scientific facts about when a girl actually begins puberty (earlier than previously thought), advice on "female athletic syndrome," eating disorders, unwanted attention because of early development, and information on eating right, exercise, AIDS, STDs, birth control, and so much more. A welcome, reassuring book for parents and daughters, designed with the understanding that some girls and parents will want to read it together, and some will want to read it on their own; without a doubt, though, all will benefit.

 Rating: - Good Book for the Over 10 CrowdI read this book with my just-turned-10 year old, because she was asking me questions that indicated to me that she was ready to learn about how a baby is made, and understand more about her body. We read the first chapter, which gives a very detailed, almost scientific explanation of how a baby is made. I think the chapter was way over her head. She got the basic idea but said there were parts she didn't understand. I felt terrible because this is a difficult concept for anyone to grasp but the ... Read More: Rating: - Great for 11-13 rangeAs a 23-year old woman who read an earlier edition of this book when I was 13, I do remember it being informative and helpful. Now, as an educator, I have since revisted the book and I must agree that, although it is not suited for those under the age of 11, it is certainly more than appropriate for the 11-13 category. Several readers mentioned the advanced content and graphics within the book and suggested waiting until girls are 16 or so before reading it. I must say, growing up in ... Read More: Rating:  - A Very Pleased CustomerMy mother gave this book to me when I was 10 years old and it answered ALL my questions about what my body was going through. It did not offend me, disturb me or make me run out and have sex. If you want your child to understand the consequenses of having sex too soon or why abstinence is important, YOU should explain it to them. It's one thing to depend on a book to teach your child the anatomy of sex, but the personal feelings, values and expectation of a parent cannot be expressed by someone ... Read More: Rating: - ChangesThis book has been very helpful for me in explaining the changes my daughter's body is currently going through. She has also found it interesting, I thought I would not have to deal with this for another year (she is 9)or so but here it was. I would would recommend this book to parents of girls entering adolescents. Very Helpful Rating: - Good IntroductionWhen I was about 10-11, my mom got me this book. I found it super helpful to have a book like this to answer some of my more embarrassing questions on my own. I really liked the fact that there were questions from real teenagers. I could relate to many of their concerns. If you haven't seen the pictures in the book, there are some black and white drawings of different body parts. They are not lewd in any way. At the same time, if this book is being given to a younger child, you might want to talk about ... Read More: |
