SynopsisFrom the most trusted name in child health, American Academy of Pediatrics, comes a new, inclusive approach to learning about puberty! Remember that awkward day in school when the boys went to one classroom and the girls to another and everyone nervously giggled, learning about taboo topics like menstruation and erections? What if your kids could learn about changing bodies in a way that isn't secretive or shameful? And what if it could even be inclusive, fun, and, well, kind of adorable? A new kind of puberty guide, You-ology embraces an inclusive approach that normalizes puberty for all kids. Traditional puberty education only contributes to a sense of isolation and often does not include all kids' experience of puberty and leaves kids with questions about how puberty will affect their friends and classmates. For curious kids and parents looking to talk about puberty in an inclusive way, You-ology offers fact-based, age-appropriate, and body positive information about the physical, social, and emotional changes ahead for all kids. Colorful illustrations keep the tone upbeat and engaging, while short stories featuring a cast of diverse characters add relatability and humor. Helping kids understand what EVERY body goes through in puberty, grows greater compassion and empathy for all., Did an adult just give you this book? Did you roll your eyes or laugh a little? Either reaction would be normal because this book is going to give you a lot of information that may seem awkward. It can also be a little funny, but it's really important. It's about puberty-that time when your body starts changing to look more grown up. Sometimes it may seem as if you are the only one dealing with body changes, but EVERY body goes through puberty. When you understand what's happening to your body, you worry less and you better care for yourself. And whether you're learning about your own body or about bodies that are different from yours, it's normal to be curious, and it's great to understand that puberty is for EVERY body. Learning about this stuff might make you feel excited, interested, embarrassed, or just plain awkward. However you're feeling is normal. Keep reading. The more you learn, the more comfortable you'll be.
