[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's an[b] American Girl book called The Care and Keeping of You[/b] or something like that that covers many different topics in an introductory way and is illustrated in a non-threatening/scary way.  It's a good a resource to start the conversations.  I gave it to my daughter around 8 I think.  She skimmed it at the time, read the period portion and came to me for more info which I provided.  She was somewhat horrified but also intrigued since it is part of growing up.  She now refers back to the book with some regularity and I encourage her to talk with me and ask questions, which she does.  [/quote]

That is a HORRIBLE book. It keeps saying over and over, emphatically, DON'T PANIC!!! It also tells the reader over and over how hard it is to talk to their mother or other woman. I'm so glad I read it before giving it to my daughter, because I returned it without letting her read it. She doesn't feel worried about going through puberty and has no problem asking me any questions at all. I don't want her reading a book that suggests she should.[/quote]
