+1 for the girl book. And thanks for the boy book recommendation, I needed to look into finding one for our son.

Look through them yourself at the library. Books have different approaches, some which you may not agree with.

+1. My kids and I read "It's Not the Stork" together. When my eldest was older (9, I think), we gave him "It's So Amazing." Haven't moved up to It's Perfectly Normal yet, but certainly might do so in future years.


We've been happy with this series, too. Although, I've got a seven year old now looking for the beginnings of his mustache, who "can't wait til I have puberty!" Even though he knows it's a few years off. .

I agree with all of the above.

My mom is a health (sex ed) teacher and she gave me Our Bodies, Ourselves when I was a kid. It was a great book for me to read on my own when I was about 12-13.

Is there a good explanatory book for DC to read to explain puberty, body changes, etc.? Of course DH and I can explain, but I think it would be better to at least start with a book.
