Hi everyone.

First time post on here. DD is 11, starting high school this year. Does anyone have any good recommendations for books on puberty, growing up and being a girl etc? I recall my mum giving me a few when I was pre-teen.

Thanks in advance Smile

Hi there OP,

We're just giving this a little bump in case any Mumsnetters out there can help. We've got a content page on this too, which might help?

Hi Friendtopia

Have a look at - www.amazon.co.uk/Care-Keeping-You-Revised-American/dp/1609580834/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_14_t_0?psc=1&_encoding=UTF8&refRID=PVBEVPNXS60BHCZP11RT&tag=mumsnet&ascsubtag=mnforum-21

Useful, informative book. We tend to read it together. There is also a version for older girls which i will also buy.

Talk to her about stuff, start talking now, normalise the talking about things. Books are good too, I like the Usborne ones

Thanks very much :)

yes hoping a combination of talking and books will be the right approach.

Will take a look at the content pages too.

Just after any recommendations
