Description:
Based on the bestselling classic, What's Happening to My Body? Book for Girls, this workbook uses quizzes, exercises, personal stories, checklists, and other activities to help girls learn about the changes that will take place in their bodies during puberty. What's Happening to My Body? explores these physical and emotional changes in greater detail, but the workbook/journal invites more participation, so that girls can really get involved in the sometimes bewildering, wonderful, and scary transformations that take place as they become women. Written in a peppy, fun style, with a strong emphasis on honest, straightforward discussions, the workbook covers such topics as menstruation, acne, pubic hair, breasts, growing pains, and sex, with such chapter headings as "The Big M," "The Female Sex Organs: An Owner's Manual," and "B.O. and Zits--Is Puberty the Pits?" The information provided and questions asked are smart, sensitive, and highly relevant to girls entering puberty. Questionnaires ask girls to decide what they would do in different situations (Jan's breasts have started to develop, but she lives with her dad and is embarrassed to ask for a bra. What suggestions do you have for Jan?). Women, do you wish someone had given you some remotely useful information when you were an adolescent? Do a girl in your life a favor now and give her My Body, My Self for Girls. And don't worry, boys, there's a workbook for you, too: My Body, My Self for Boys. (Ages 8 to 15) --Emilie Coulter
