I'm not sure if this is quite the right topic to post in, but I guess it is as I don't want to inadvertently choose a book with subtle (or otherwise) references to gender woo and the like, and trying to filter that out via Amazon reviews is driving me nuts! So I thought I'd ask here as I know I'll get good suggestions
DD is 8 and in year 4, she's just started to express an interest in understanding how babies are made and what happens to your body as you get older. We live on a farm and she's seen animals mating and has a vague idea, and her dad and I are comfortable with being seen naked after showering so she understands that bodies change as you grow up. Although I've never hidden my period from her I don't think it's on her radar as I'm fortunate to get short, easy periods.
I'm mindful that I'd rather the information came from us so that she is pre-informed and confident in the facts rather than some half-baked muddle she picks up from her peers.
I've looked at Milli Hill's 'My Period' but I wonder if that might be a bit grown up for her yet as she's quite a 'young' 8yr old. And I don't know if it covers sex and pregnancy etc anyway. But I am happy to be corrected by those that have read the book.
Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. TIA 🙂
