The Girls' Guide to Growing Up Great, 2nd Edition

Changing Bodies, Periods, Relationships and Life Online

De: Sophie Elkan

Narrado por: Sophie Elkan

A positive and empowering guide for girls who are going through puberty or are interested in what's in store.

Going through puberty? Thinking about puberty? Worried about growing up? Don't worry! This book is for you.

Packed with facts and thoughtful advice, plus words of wisdom from older women and quotes and questions from girls who are also going through it, this newly updated book covers every aspect of going through puberty for girls (and even has a chapter on what's going on with boys because knowledge is power, after all).

From body basics like breasts, spots and periods, to the questions with no easy answers (Does how you look matter? Is a crush ever wrong? Is it bad to be jealous of your best friends – and does having a best friend even matter?) Plus, of course, clear and empowering information on sex, sexuality and gender and a whistle-stop guide to the wonderful world of online.

Written by women who just happen to be mums: word whizz Sophie Elkan, psychotherapist Laura Chaisty and GP Dr Maddy Podichetty.

Reseñas de la Crítica

This book frees girls from any ill-conceived myths about what they should or shouldn’t be feeling as they go through puberty. It says that you are ok the way you are - a message that could not be more important particularly during this crucial time where our bodies are going through a revolution. (Brita Schmidt)

Wise, kind, non-judgemental and empathetic. This book should be within every girl’s arm’s reach. (Sali Hughes, columnist, mother and author)
