Do we have to talk about this? Having that awkward conversation about puberty

BY MAKAYLA B. – 11 YEARS OLD

So, everyone’s body goes through changes at some point in their lives. Many kids find speaking about those changes awkward, and have a hard time asking questions that they have.

Doctors Lisa Klein and Carrie Leff have teamed together to write different books about puberty. One of their most popular books is, Celebrate Your Body 2: The Ultimate Puberty Book for Preteen and Teen Girls.” This book is helpful because it answers the awkward questions you may have about puberty.

My mom bought me one of those books they wrote knowing I have questions about puberty, and that I’d feel awkward asking those questions. When I received the book, I felt grateful because I wouldn’t have to ask the questions. I could just look at the book to find those answers.

I think the book was very well written and very informative. It still feels a little weird writing about it, so I would definitely suggest parents buy this book if you have daughters my age. It will make talking about it less awkward, and at least you know that we have a resource to turn to if we need too.
