Good day moms (or dads as the case may be).
My coworker is preparing herself to have ';the talk'; with her pre-teen daughter.
Can anyone recommended a book that she can use as a guideline?Moms of teen girls, advice needed re. ';the talk';?
Try The Body Book for Girls which I think is from American Girls (you know, like the dolls).
I got one for my stepdaughter and it is written in a way girls can understand. It covers acne, growing pains, boys, keeping your body clean, and so on.
It's a book that mother and daughters can read together.
Good luck!Moms of teen girls, advice needed re. ';the talk';?
Most teens learn about sex and everything in health classes now-a-days. I never got ';the talk'; from my parents. She could ask her daughter about what she knows about sex first, and if she has questions, answer them. It's much more comfortable if you don't pressure her into hearing about it when she doesn't want to.
If she is a teen and she just now thought about talking to her then chances are she already knows more than the mother thinks she does.
What she can talk to her about now is respecting herself and expecting others to do the same.
