Sex, Puberty, and All That Stuff: A Guide to Growing Up - Softcover

"A witty guide that gets straight to what most teens are thinking about, including ways to say no."

"I believe this is the most complete book for parents to use with their children that I have ever encountered. It is filled with basic facts that are presented in a nonthreatening way, like a conversation. Growing up from a child to an adult can be confusing and maybe frightening at times. The physical, emotional, and even mental changes the child/adult is going through need some type of explanation. I believe this particular book does a very good job in providing some guidance for parents with the discussions that need to happen to assist their child into a healthy puberty change."

Chapters that follow discuss typical teen problems, as well as those entirely new feelings that come with sexual development, and offer tips on making it through those sometimes exciting, sometimes crazy teen years. Learn how to deal with crushes, controlling parents, pimples, kissing, dating, hormones, menstruation, sexual activity, condoms, contraception, pregnancy, STDs, sexual impulses, and more.
