A friendly, reassuring and positive guide for girls as they
approach puberty, explaining the changes that will happen to their
bodies as they grow up and how these changes might make them feel.
Covering everything from periods and breast development to body
hair and personal hygiene, puberty and parenting expert Anita Naik
addresses any worries that girls may have relating to what is
'normal'. She reassures readers and boosts their confidence,
encouraging them to feel positive about the changes they will
experience as they go through puberty. The book also includes
lifestyle advice on topics like healthy eating and exercise, and
information on how puberty affects boys. Topics covered: What is
puberty? Your puberty timeline Breasts and bras Same age, different
stage Skin changes Sweat, smells and personal hygiene Hair in new
places Down there What are periods? The practical side of periods
Coping with periods Sex explained Making babies New feelings
Managing your moods Healthy eating The power of exercise
Self-esteem and body image Privacy and your body Puberty for boys
Boys have worries, too
This nonfiction self-help book for young readers with disordered
eating and body image problems delivers real talk about eating
disorders and body image, tools and information for recovery, and
suggestions for dealing with the media messages that contribute so
much to disordered eating. You Are Enough answers questions like: *
What are eating disorders? * What types of treatment are available
for eating disorders? * What is anxiety? * How can you relax? *
What is cognitive reframing? * Why are measurements like BMI flawed
and arbitrary? * What is impostor syndrome? * How do our role
models affect us? . . . just to name a few. Many eating disorder
books are written in a way that leaves many people out of the
eating disorder conversation, and this book is written with a
special eye on inclusivity.
