Review: Excellent book perfectly pitched to the age group - My 8 year old daughter has started asking a lot of questions lately about growing up and changes to her body, so I decided it was time that we had a talk about these things. Having never received this from my own mother (I learnt all this at school!) I wanted to be as informative as possible to my own daughter, whilst making sure I was pitching it at the right level for her age. I therefore decided to look for a book to sort me with this, that I could then give to my daughter to read to make sure she had all the relevant information for her age. Having looked at several other books claiming to be for primary age, I found that many provided far more information than is necessary for an 8 year old. This book had all the right components as far as I am concerned - well written in a language that is easily readable and understood by an 8 year old, my daughter is very much enjoying reading this. The short chapters have kept her attention, and have provided her answers and information that support what I have been able to talk to her about Review: Simple and Informative. - I purchased this book for my nine year old daughter who has started puberty. I did not want a book that was too deep and involved like some that I had seen. She doesn't need to know everything in depth yet, but does need to know some areas. We have talked about things, but I think that having a little book on her bookcase that I know she will look at in her own time is useful. This book covers growing and developing bodies, changes that take place, diet and exercise (in a good and positive way) and personal hygiene. It discusses periods, the process and what happens and why, products you can use and mood swings. There are some simple pictures showing the anatomy of the womb, tubes and ovaries, and vagina. It touches on sex, just to mention that when a woman wants a baby the mans sperm goes into the womans vagina and may meet an egg and if it joins it and settle in the womb, it develops into a baby. Also covers boyfriends and friendships. How it can be nice but things can go wrong and you can drift apart. This book also covers a couple of topics that I had not previously considered. But do not dissaprove of at all. Hands off! this is regarding complaining about someone, anyone, if they touch you in a way you dont like and discusses how to negotiate with you family about rules, without screaming and shouting! I was really pleased with this book. It was just what I was looking for and for a younger girl, physically or emotionally, is brilliant. The areas covered are witten simply, in easy to understand language and are displayed on the pages clearly and spaciously so as not to be a daunting or heavy read. My partner thought this book was excellent too. As I had mentioned we had seen books before, aimed at older girls I expect, that we would not have been happy for her to read. I will not hesitate to show this and recommend it to any of my friends who are looking for a book on this subject. Well done and thank you Vic Parker ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 420,039 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 197 in Children's Books on Maturing 530 in Children's Nonfiction on Girls' & Women's Issues | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 613 Reviews | ## Images ![Little Book of Growing Up - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/712uBesrRaL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent book perfectly pitched to the age group *by C***E on 4 November 2015* My 8 year old daughter has started asking a lot of questions lately about growing up and changes to her body, so I decided it was time that we had a talk about these things.

I bought it last year for my 10 year old. At that time, when we read through it together, she was a bit reluctant and felt daft, I think. So we went through it once or twice and left it there. She read through it a few times on her own, but this year, after leaving it on her bookcase, I have noticed that she has been reading it quite a lot. As her life and body changes she just picks up the book and reads through the bits that are relevant. She is able to discuss things with her friends and she knows I am here if she wishes to ask any questions relating to the book or changes about her body. Which she has on many occasions this year! It was a good introduction, and, after 'the talk in school' earlier this year she was very confident about her comments to her teachers and friends and I feel she was less embarassed than she would have been. It is very well written, I feel, and easy to understand. It mentions, briefly, about 'hands off' and being touched when you shouln't be but we had already discussed those sort of things so she did not worry about that. The other things it mentions is diet, anxiety attacks and making sure you discuss worries with family or friends as everyone feels that way at some time. Also, mood swings and general things that happen to all girls as they grow up. It also, goes into the technical bits about the body and why girls have periods. I am happy to know, she is happy reading this little book. She is much more confident discussing personal things with me now and is able to put her friends minds at rest when they have questions. There is a little section on 'Finding Freedom' and I quite like this bit. It mentions how hard it is for adults to let their children go off doing things on their own or with friends. Also, how to act more grown up and discuss rules they don't agree with instead of screaming and shouting. And how, if you act more sensible, you are likely to be heard. It just reinforces what an adult might try to get across to a growing child who having mood swings.
