Hello, new to all of this!
I have 2 daughters, 7 and nearly 9. They are reasonably well informed about periods, body hair etc and we’ve had a very basic ‘how the baby gets there’ chat. 7yr old not too interested at the minute, but 9yr old is definitely more aware. I’ve been looking at books, so that she can read through and ask any questions after. However, I’m finding it difficult to find one that seems age appropriate for her? They all seem to mention sex, drugs etc and I just don’t think we’re quite there yet. The Usborne one seems to be quite popular, but having read through a sample- it’s talks about masturbating??!! Am I being silly to think that this is all a bit much too young?
So I’m looking for recommendations for books that are more focused on periods, hormones, breasts and so forth, can anyone help? Thanks!
