Like most 80s kids, I learned about getting your period by reading Are One There God, it’s Me Margaret by Judy Blume, and learned about sex from a passed around bookmarked copy of Forever. Literally, the girls passed it under their desks in class in 6th grade and I remember reading the particular passage ten times before I passed it on, because I could not fathom WHAT they were talking about.
Thank you for the book list! I have a almost 8 year old boy but had no idea on where to start and I didn’t want to give too much information at first either. Thanks again!
I highly recommend "A Girl's Guide to Puberty & Periods" by Marni Sommer. The graphic novel format made it easy for my daughter to read and the content was easy for her to understand. The real world stories made it particularly relatable and were very reassuring. I plan to buy this for all of my friends who have daughters.
This is a great book list!

Thank you for the book recommendations! I have a 7 year old but want to study up a bit on how to approach this subject before it's urgently needed.
