The coming-of-age experience has changed dramatically, with
girls maturing sooner than ever. But what happens when a girl has
the body of a 13-year-old and the brain of an 8-year-old? Contrary
to popular wisdom, early puberty is not merely a reflection of
physical changes--it's deeply psychological, too, with effects that
can put a girl at higher risk for behavioral problems and long-term
health challenges, such as obesity, depression, eating disorders,
and even cancer.
"The New Puberty" is a reassuring, empowering guide for millions
of parents--as well as teachers, coaches, pediatricians, and family
members--by two notable experts in the field. Compiling original
research and clinical experience, Drs. Greenspan and Deardorff
offer practical strategies for supporting girls entering this
complex stage of their lives. Readers will learn why girls are
developing faster than they did a generation ago (it's not just
environmental toxins); the potential physical and emotional
consequences; how to tell if a girl has reached puberty early and
what to do; and how to initiate and continue difficult
conversations.
Impeccably researched, comfortingly prescriptive, and a timely
antidote to sensationalistic headlines, "The New Puberty" provides
the roadmap to help young girls move forward with confidence,
ensuring their optimal health and happiness for the future.
