by nursecat64 Jan 24, '12Does anyone know where I can get good child friendly information (pamphlets, books, handouts) for young girls on puberty and menstruation? I especially am looking for something for girls with precocious puberty (7-8-9 year olds). I just can't find much information. Everything is geared toward older girls. How do you help girls whos bodies(and emotions) are changing long before their peers?

Jan 24, '12 by CathyladyHaving a daughter that went through pre-onset puberty I got all of my information from the Pediatric Endocrinologist whose care she was under. Try contacting one near you. -

Jan 27, '12 by sharpeimomwhen i began to develop breasts, i was only seven. well, swollen puffy nipples, really. i was taken to a pediatric endocrinologist, then referred to a special neurologist. i began having periods in the third grade. by the 6th grade, i was a "c" cup and by the 8th grade, i was a "d" cup. led to much speculation...
i absolutely hated having to wear a bra. my mom's creative solution was that i wear one of my beloved old undershirts over the detested bra. silly? maybe, but it made me feel more "normal"
and like my peers.
whether a girl matures early or on the late side, she will feel out of step with her friends. i know.
but in a year or more, everything evens out. when other girls made cracks about my "shape" i felt weird at first, but quickly learned to say something like, "we all develop at different rates." and when
my tormentors realized they couldn't make me feel bad, they soon stopped. - Admin

Jan 29, '12 by Nascar nurseQuote from bratmobileI gave my daughter this book too. She refused to read it or discuss it with me but I insisted she keep it in her room. She would later bring up at bit information randomly out of no where and when questioned about it, she would tell me "well it was in that gross book you gave me". I was happy that it became quite obvious she was reading it and was also willing to bring things up it small bits and pieces. I'm sure over time we actually discussed nearly every topic in the book but it had to be on her schedule.if you want to be a little less technical, the book from American Girl was very helpful..sharpeimom likes this. - Jan 31, '12 by nursecat64Quote from nursecat64Thank you for the help.Does anyone know where I can get good child friendly information (pamphlets, books, handouts) for young girls on puberty and menstruation?

That website "kids health" is great!! What is the title to the book by American Girl? Do you know a place online to order it? We have no book stores in our area. Does anyone know of any other good books for school age girls on how the body works in general? - Jan 31, '12 by Nascar nurse
