Our bodies are designed to stop bleeding when we enter the water BUT, Everyone IS different. Plus, I have done it myself without a tampon but I only stayed in the water to dip in and out, to cool off. Then you must deal with having a pad in a bathroom nearby to quickly slip it on during out of pool moments. I'd also suggest a towel to wrap around in case of pesky leaks. BEST: speak with your Family Doctor about tampon use and instructions. You Can do it when taught properly. (less)

When we were little, American Girl publications were a pretty big deal in our house. I had a subscription to the magazine and my sister and I had dolls and books that corresponded with those dolls. Of course, as I started to grow up the American Girl phenomenon was no longer something I was interested in, but this book was still really really helpful. My mom bought it for me and left it on my bed when I was at school. She understood that some of the issues of being a pre-teen (or just hitting th..more

I bought this book for my almost 9 year old daughter. It was a great book for going over all the changes that would be happening in the near future. I love that it covers everything (with the exception of sex) but it lended itself so I could lead into that topic from the book. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has a daughter that is pre-puberty and you are looking for a way to have a talk about it. I also recommend doing what we did and having a girls night shopping, dinner and then sta..more

This book is part of the American Girl franchise and it shows.
Some positives and negatives: The information seems well-balanced for the most part. There's talk about diversity (but ethnic, not gender-based, size-based, or anything-else-based), the urge to compare oneself to images of women/girls in the media, deets on boobies (shapes, sizes, care, how long they take to grow, bras, etc.), eating disorders, periods, etc. But it also does some all-over grooming advice that I found tedious and overl..more

I would recommend most of this book (90% of it) for 9 year olds and up. Why? Because it talks about a ton of things you're dealing with right now. Things like exercise, hair care, washing yourself, teeth brushing, eating right, vitamins, ear car, eye care, stinky breath care, etc. But there was one section (the other 10%) that I think would be better for 10 or 11 year olds and up. I wouldn't recommend page 76 and 77 for 8 and 9 year olds. The illustrations are too much! My mom suggested just pap..more

This book has a lot of good information for the 8 to 13 crowd. It gives 'head to toe advice' on all the issues girls that age worry about: braces, shaving, periods, teasing, breasts, eating disorders, and zits (and even more).
I like the way the book says that removal of underarm hair is a personal decision, that some girls aren't bothered by having underarm hair. I also like that this book says there 'no real reason to remove leg hair.' I really appreciate that the book emphasizes that who a girl..more
Read this with my 8-year-old. Provided excellent framework for good conversations about all the changes that will come with puberty. Covers personal hygiene, nutrition, exercise, bras, menstruation (including diagrams showing how tampons work and details on the various things that pads or tampons are better for), and throughout, acknowledgement of all the weird ways that these things might make girls feel and how normal this is.
The book does not cover sex, so if you are looking for that you'll..more
If you're a mom with a 9 year old daughter, this is a MUST READ!! Then have your daughter read it because it's meant for her. :) This book opened conversations that I had attempted and failed miserably, and now we're able to talk openly about the things she's already beginning to notice, and things girls at school are already talking about. There are sections of the book that I'll also be going over with my 7 year old. Yep, his book is an extremely valuable resource!!

I'm really glad to have this to give to my 9-year-old daughter, to follow up on a talk we had on puberty. The book discusses body changes and self-care; it doesn't address reproduction in any specificity. (I understand newer versions of the book address sex more specifically.) It's mostly age appropriate, positive and upbeat. My daughter has pored over it. My only quibble is that it addresses anorexia nervosa and how it can lead to death, etc. More than she needs to know right now. And of ~cours..more

This is a great book for girls to read that answers questions they might have about puberty in a reassuring, factual and straight-forward way. I appreciated how the book emphasizes the differences in each girl's experience, and each girl's body. Alternatives are offered (pad v. tampon, shave or not to shave?) with no bias and with enough information to help a girl feel confident in figuring out which option works for her.
The writing is simple, but the tone is not condescending. Information is p..more
This is a great mother/daughter book! I read this book with my 10 year old daughter to teach her about all the changes that happen as you mature from a girl to a young woman. We had a lot of fun reading, laughing and enjoying this book together. She looked forward to it every evening, and so did I! Dec 05, 2007Ms. rated it it was amazing

Standard book for every girl! A book which should precede Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret. Like an owner's manual for girls ages 9-12. Includes very cute, simple explanations and cartoons about why our bodies change. I bought this for my friend's 5th grade daughter whose friends are starting their periods and can't understand what it is or why she hasn't gotten hers. She has a lot of questions her mother isn't prepared to answer, so this book should help fill in the blanks.
This book had some nice tips, but there were some tips that I didn't agree with. At one point in the book, I thought they were being hypocritical because they said one thing on a page, then said the complete opposite pages later. In other words, I have outgrown this book.

I remember loving this book when I was a young teen. The illustrations and page layouts are inviting, casual, and matter-of-fact, and I read it over and over, just thrilled to have such clear answers for things adults all seemed to know but never mentioned to me (at least not without it being super awkward). Not just about sexual development, but about health and hygiene in general. On re-reading, the advice and tone are still super good. A few things are a little out of date, like the food pyra..more

I got this for my daughter a while ago and I think it does an excellent job introducing lots of subjects about the body and how to care for it. It discusses more intimate subjects like developing breasts, pubic hair, periods, and even gives step-by-step instructions for how to put in a tampon and advice on shaving your armpits. However, most of the book deals with easier subjects, such as taking care of your hair, being active, eating right, and more. It does not discuss sexuality at all. I HIGH..more

Starting to think about having 'the talk' with my daughter as she is in a hurry to grow up. It is hard to find a book that is appropriate for a nine year old that addresses simply their own body and just what she needs to know now. I have to say this book does a pretty good job though - nothing inappropriate or too advanced for her. The things she needs to know now are well-written and this is probably the book I will buy to have the talk with her in the next few months or so. Eek! How can my ba..more

Definitely a book to read with your emerging tween especially if puberty, etc is covered in school and she has questions but not quite sure where to start. This book served as a great tool for my daughter to begin a dialogue with me about the topic of 'growing up' and what that means specifically for her.

I'm tempted to wryly use so many tags: drama, dystopia, epic, fantasy, horror, humor, idgi, mystery, nature and science,
Rachel suggested 'period lit' as a name for my history shelf, and I immediately remembered this book, which is why that is never gonna be the name for my history shelf.
This wonderous book explains to girls that:
1. You should love your body 2. You are beautiful! 3. It explains everything about a girls body in a loving and caring environment! Read this book! BUT NO BOYS ALLOWED!

Wanted to read this one before passing it onto my 8 year old. I found the book had a lot of great info that I remember being too afraid to ask my own Mom as a kid. Hoping this will help fill in the gaps that I may not think to cover.

I really can't say enough good things about this book. It covers every topic an adolescent girl is curious about, so informative! It's a must read, couldn't put it down!
A good introduction to body changes for girls. Covers changes from head to toe. I have an 8 year old I plan to read it with. Is it really time for those discussions already?!

Super to read with your daughter. This book makes a child know that it's okay to feel comfortable with your body and the changes that are to come.

Recently, I saw this on the shelf at the public library, where I work. We actually have a couple copies.
My mom got me this guide when I started asking her THE questions that personally didn't make me uncomfortable, but grossed her out. LOL. I believe this was given to me after my first 'know yourself' class at school. Although this book touched base on subjects that I already knew, it was helpful when there were upcoming changes to my own body, and what to do when those certain changes happen. P..more
This was okay at the time it was published..but, they made absolutely NO mention of female reproductive conditions such as Endometriosis or PCOS, and symptoms that may be associated with these diseases. Therefore while I got my period super young at 10 and had severely painful and heavy periods for years, I had no inkling I had stage IV Endometriosis and major infertility (even though my mom also has stage IV endo and it took my parents 5 years to conceive me, with Pergonal injections and an HC..more
A palatable and well written book about a not so palatable subject. Puberty is rough to say the least and a very taboo subject that some young girls don't get enough education on at home. Talking about the good, bad, and the ugly parts of puberty in a factual unbiased way that also puts one at ease, Schaefer has found a way to talk puberty without putting you off from growing up. Most young women start the early processes of puberty in upper elementary school and this would be the perfect time t..more

I got this before all of the biological 'changes' happened. A lot of reviews on this book are written by parents, so let me tell you what its like to actually read this book:
It's pretty gross. It's handled well, but it still freaked me out and made me more anxious about what scary changes were coming. If you have an anxious child, or a child who is scared of what growing up could mean for their body: talk to them. Don't leave them to read a book like this, it only fuels anxiety because I can gu..more
