Informative Book on Puberty for Preteens/Early Teenagers

I was really impressed by this book. The content was straightforward and well designed for easy reading, and I felt like it was the right amount of information put forth without any agenda or bias (or maybe it was just inline with my own bias, lol). I left it around for all of my kids to read whenever they wish, and we've talked about it as well. I definitely agree that, as with any book on these topics, you should read it beforehand and make sure you're comfortable with the material and ready to discuss it. My son was 12 when I bought it and made it quietly available in his room. I found a few years back that the right time to discuss things like this with the kids is about 1-2 years before I think it is the right time, and I use that as a guide!

My son like the book and help him answer questions that he was shy to ask me about.

Short, matter of fact and nonjudgmental book that’s easy for a kid to digest. I knocked a star because inexplicably, the book says NOTHING about contraception or STIs. “condoms” are in the index, but the referenced pages aren’t even about sex or relationships. It’s a bizarre omission.

Bought this for my 12 almost 13 year old son after an awkward, gut wrenching visit at the pediatrician. I realized I had talked to my girls so much more about puberty by this age and I really didn't know what to say to my son. I bought the book, didn't make a big deal about it. I asked him the other day if he read it and he said yes front to back. I am glad he liked it and found it interesting enough to read.

purchase for the pre-teens son to read in his own time and pace. To help him understand and what to expect as he goes through his teen years. He read the whole book in sitting and found it easy to understand. Would high recommend t
His book.

I purchased this for my 12 yo son. I haven't given it to him yet because I feel some of the information is more than I am ready for him to know. I definitely suggest reviewing the information prior to giving it to a kid and then discussing it with him.
