Synopsis

SEARCH: When will I get my period? When will my boobs grow? How do I shave down there? How do I use a tampon? What bra should I buy? Why do I feel so moody? Should I post my picture? How do I hide pimples?

These are some of the most frequent online search phrases by girls who now have access to phones, computers, and tablets. Today's digital native generation is being raised not only by their parents and caregivers but also by a global village where they can access information about their bodies from various sources. But, unfortunately, the online answers to their questions might seem confusing or embarrassing and may even be inappropriate!
Puberty Survival Guide for Girls, written by a board-certified OB/GYN, offers a valuable tool to help introduce the sensitive topics surrounding a girl’s transition into adulthood and provides advice on caring for their changing bodies and minds. In addition to addressing overall physical body changes such as acne, first menstrual cycle, and personal hygiene, Dr. Ashby has updated this edition with tips on social media awareness, self-care, mindfulness, internet safety, and healthy communication with peers.
The information in this handbook is appropriate for diverse tweens ages 9-14. By gently addressing girls' mixed feelings about puberty, this book provides all the answers to questions young women may have about their maturing bodies. Using personal quotes from adolescent girls and colorful illustrations, Puberty Survival Guide for Girls reinvents the health class 5th grade film. It will serve as their own “owner’s manual” that will be a continued resource to help navigate the sometimes challenging and emotional middle-school years.
From pimples to periods, answers to the most asked questions are found in short, easy-to-read chapters:

• What is Puberty?
• Growth Spurt
• Breast Changes
• Skin and Hair Changes
• Getting Your Period
• Premenstrual Syndrome
• Self-Care
• Social Media and Internet Safety
• Peer Pressure
• Acts of Kindness

Puberty Survival Guide for Girls is a must-have companion to effectively answer questions that so many young people have today- not only about their bodies but about managing their ever-changing social communities. The importance of mind-body-spirit education is vital to help this generation gain confidence, self-awareness, and positivity as they grow into competent, well-informed young adults.

Dr. Eve Anne Ashby, DO FACOOG, is a practicing gynecologist with 25 years of experience specializing in helping women through puberty and menopausal transitions. She is a lecturer and an assistant professor and helps train young physicians to become competent, caring, “whole person” medical providers.
