Across its pages, girls will find clear explanations of the physical changes their bodies go through, along with practical, non-judgemental information on periods, hygiene, diet and exercise. The book doesn't stop at the physical: it also explores the emotional rollercoaster of the teenage years, covering mood swings, self-esteem, friendships, break-ups, stress and mental wellbeing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSensitive subjects such as relationships, sex, contraception and sexually transmitted infections are handled with the same calm, factual tone throughout, so readers feel informed rather than alarmed. Social pressures get equal attention too, with sections on social networking, online safety, bullying and body confidence, reflecting the real concerns of today's tweens and teens. Katie Lovell's friendly illustrations soften potentially awkward topics and help break up the text, making the book approachable rather than clinical. Usborne has also included carefully selected Quicklinks to reputable external websites, giving families a way to explore topics further with trustworthy, up-to-date resources beyond the printed page. The result is a comprehensive, easy-to-navigate reference that young readers can dip into privately or share with a parent, carer or teacher, opening the door to important conversations at exactly the right moment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClear, age-appropriate explanations of puberty, periods and body changes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHonest, judgement-free guidance on emotions, relationships and sex education.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePractical strategies for coping with stress, mood swings and exam pressure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdvice on social networking, online safety and building self-confidence.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCurated Quicklinks to trusted websites for further, up-to-date information.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nFelicity Brooks has written and edited hundreds of Usborne titles over more than three decades, covering everything from tractors to mental health.
