Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Written by consultant paediatricians Dr Fiona Finlay and Dr Rosemary Jones and Mizz magazine agony aunt Tricia Kreitman, this book is exactly what is needed to explain all about periods and to dispel common myths.

The book contains useful basic biology and discusses difficult issues in an understanding and knowledgeable way, making it a helpful tool in what is often a difficult area for parents to discuss with their daughters. Featuring answers to actual problem-page letters from teenage girls, there is great advice here on how to cope with common period problems and understand the processes at work.

Everything You Ever Wanted To Ask About Periods is a comprehensive, embarrassment-free book offering answers of the kind that girls may not have been able to find elsewhere and a welcome alternative to confusion and misinformation. --Rachel Ediss

Teen Titles, Autumn 2001
An embarrassment-free guide on how to cope with common period problems and understand what is going on in your body.

4.0 out of 5 stars Clear information about a sensitive subject, 26 May 2001
This review is from: Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Periods (Hardcover)
Statistics show that children are reaching puberty at an earlier age than ever before. There is a need for a clear way to present the information a child would need, but in a way that is accesible. The dilemma of what to tell, and in what detail is addressed by the use of a question and answer format, with real cases discussed. I did find the book to be not as attractive to children as I had hoped it would be, and I feel it is too technical for the 9 year old age group I had intended it for. The book does contain all the information needed to support a young teenager, but a parent will have to find a way of interpreting it for each childs needs.

I think the book is a good resource for older teenagers, but does not do as much to reassure or inform the increasing amount of 'early starters' as I had hoped.

5.0 out of 5 stars Periods, 3 Oct 2002
By A Customer
This was a straight talking clear guide to your body!
It explained everything slowly and only some bits were scientific!
I found this very useful to read when I did and it helped me talk to my mum about periods and puberty.
2 big thumbs up!
