STRAIGHT-TALKING HOW-TO MANUAL INSPIRES ADOLESCENT GIRLS TO BE THEIR PERSONAL BEST, INSIDE AND OUT

Adolescence is tough. Mood swings, body changes, and peer pressure can take a toll on even the most self-assured child. For girls, especially, puberty is often accompanied by a decline in self-confidence. Girl in the Know: Your Inside-and-Out Guide to Growing Up (Kids Can Press) helps girls cope with the challenges of early adolescence-in both body and mind. Written by Anne Katz, R.N., Ph.D., a nursing professor, journal editor, and expert on sexuality, the book empowers girls with information about the physical and mental changes brought on by puberty, helping them to know what to expect and how to make it through as smoothly as possible. There's way more to this little manual than just the body basics-every girl gets the lowdown on how to take care of her whole self.

"Girl in the Know" tackles tough topics like health, nutrition, and relationships in a frank, straightforward way, using a relaxed, upbeat conversational tone that will appeal to kids. The book encourages the development of a healthy body image by showing girls of all colors, shapes, and sizes. Readers are urged to appreciate their uniqueness and to think for themselves as they learn how to become the woman they want to be. Whether a girl prefers to read the book in private or use it as a springboard for conversations with parents, teachers, or friends, the focus stays on the girl reader and what puberty is all about.

Below are some tips inspired by the book "Girl in the Know: Your Inside-and-Out Guide to Growing Up" so you can help your daughter make her way through puberty as smoothly as possible and inspire her to become her best, inside and out.

Supermodel Mom Although it may sometimes seem like your daughter hasn't a clue you're a real person (not just 'Mom') your daughter is modeling her image of what makes a woman mainly after you. Your attitudes and behaviors are a powerful influence on your daughter's, so look to reinforce the positive and revisit the negative.
