Everything preteen and teen boys need to know about their changing bodies and feelings
Written by an experienced educator and her daughter in a reassuring and down-to earth style, The "What's Happening to My Body?" Book for Boys gives sensitive straight talk on: the body's changing size and shape; diet and exercise; the growth spurt; the reproductive organs; body hair; voice changes; romantic and sexual feelings; and puberty in the opposite sex. It also includes information on steroid abuse, acne treatment, sexually transmitted diseases, AIDS, and birth control. Featuring detailed illustrations and real-life stories throughout, plus an introduction for parents and a helpful resource section, this bestselling growing-up guide is an essential puberty education and health book for all boys ages 10 and up.
Please read before giving to your child. I returned this book after reading it. I am glad I read it before handing over to my 10 year old. Very detailed information but I did not like how some of the information was presented. I would recommend this for age 13+I thought about keeping for when my daughter is older but some.of the information I did not think was presented well. Specifically masturbation and sex. I believe at a young age it is important to not present information in a way that can make a young girl feel like she may be missing out by not doing these things. I believe it more important to give factual information instead of info about pleasure. This book seemed to focus on the pleasure aspect and didn't mention some of the most important aspects such as how to masturbate safely to avoid infections, that not everyone does it and that's okay, the importance of not letting self pleasure consume your life/become addictive. The sex section of the book also seemed to focus on pleasure and making the reader feel sex to be okay and normal but bypassed some of the most important information such a rumors most tweens/teens hear about sex in regards to pregnancy and STDs. Or even addressing those subjects much at all.I found a much better puberty book called Ready Set Grow. It does not discuss sex and is great for age 8-12. I will be looking for another book for my daughter reguarding sex education.I know some may not agree with my review and I completely understand so please just read this book before handing it over to make sure it is sending the overall message you are wanting your young daughter to hear.Good Book We bought three books about puberty for our 11 year old son. I will post this comment under all three books. The books are The Boy’s Body Book, Third Edition: Everything You Need to Know for Growing up YOU by Kelli Dunham, RN; The “What’s Happening to My Body?” Book for Boys. Revised Edition by Lynda Madaras with Area Madaras and It’s Perfectly Normal: Changing Bodies, Growing Up, Sex and Sexual Health (The Family Library) by Robie H. Harris.My son read all three books, so I asked him for his feedback on each book and this is what he said.He found the It’s Perfectly Normal book to be “more comic’y and less squeamish.” He found the Bird and the Bee characters thru-out the book to be “really funny.” It’s Perfectly Normal contained the most information about sexual intercourse whereas The Boy’s Body Book and What’s Happening to My Body have more about health.The What’s Happening to My Body book contained “more anatomically correct drawings.” It also has a section about being uncircumcized and how to take care of your foreskin.The Boy’s Body Book is “fine,” but “it doesn’t really talk about sex and genital changes.” It doesn’t go into as much detail as the other two books. It does however have more content on older teens, curfew, chores, siblings and divorce. It also has a brief section on what to do if someone tries to touch you inappropriately.The Boy’s Body Book also doesn’t have a section about girls’ bodies, but both What’s Happening to My Body and It’s Perfectly Normal do have sections about girls.Overall, if parents want a book that is more about emotions, then he recommends the Boy’s Body Book; and if parents want a book that is more detailed about sex and genital changes, then he recommends What’s Happening to My Body or It’s Perfectly Normal.
