This New Puberty Book Is Required Reading for Parents of Tween Girls

Going through puberty as a young girl isn’t easy. Their bodies are constantly changing — growing hair and acne spurts due to hormone changes are to be expected — and it’s also common to experience mood swings as children’s emotions tend to become stronger and more intense. But that’s only the beginning. With puberty comes a whole array of reproductive changes such as menstruation. While millions of women have periods around the globe, it’s still a taboo topic and not as widely discussed as it should be. And because of the stigma surrounding it, often times young women can feel fearful talking about it.
