It contains sections on sex and contraception, food, exercise, hygiene and drugs and other problems both physical and emotional. Review: A good start to teenage sex education - This book is quite basic and to the point and deals with the mechanics rather than the emotional side of growing up. As a father not living permanently with his daughter, it was useful to be able to at least start with the basics with my just turned 13 year old daughter, given this was not something her Mum wanted to do. We went through 8 pages a night together and it took us 7 nights to complete over a ten day period. I read the book whilst my teenage child listened and we paused after every two pages for questions to be asked and answered. You will need to follow this up with whatever blanks your child has after you go through this with him/her. Naturally most children actually do not understand that the changes going on in their bodies are primarily to prepare them for having children. The act of sex is very, very brief in this book and it needed more emphasis that this is the point whereupon pregnancy or disease can enter the equation. Overall a good start and I would recommend this book to responsible parents looking to introduce the topic of what growing up means and what the changes going through their bodies represent and a brief introduction to the opposite sex and their bodies. Review: ) this book is a really good introduction to puberty and the issues associated with growing ... - As a former teacher (and having previously taught sex education to year 9 students!) this book is a really good introduction to puberty and the issues associated with growing up. I bought it for my 11 year old who is about to start secondary school in September as I wanted her to have a clear grasp of the 'facts' without the embarrassment of having 'the talk' so that she would not be confused or swayed by playground misconceptions I read it through cover to cover to ensure I was happy with the content (some parents may feel contraception and masturbation may not be appropriate subjects to cover as yet) and can conclude that the book is very informative. The illustrations are both diagram style and cartoon style and should appeal to young adults beginning puberty. All in all a great little book and my daughter and I use it as a reference point to have chats about any issues she is concerned about. It is also great as a stand alone for those young people who feel too embarrassed to talk to an adult about the crazy confusing time that is puberty. ## Features - New - Mint Condition - Dispatch same day for order received before 12 noon - Guaranteed packaging - No quibbles returns ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 347,556 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 234 in Books on Being a Teen for Young Adults 239 in Young Adult Health Books on Sexuality & Pregnancy 373 in Adolescent Counselling | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 496 Reviews | ## Images ![Usborne Facts of Life, Growing Up (All about Adolescence, body changes and sex) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81+cea6dsRL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A good start to teenage sex education *by K***T on 17 August 2013* This book is quite basic and to the point and deals with the mechanics rather than the emotional side of growing up.

We are reading What's happening to me together, but I will save this one for when she is a little bit older. It's a great book and explains everything in good detail, but at 10 she doesn't need to understand about some of the sexual concepts raised in here. There is enough detail in the other book to meet our current needs, which frankly are only the mechanics of sex. ## Frequently Bought Together - Usborne Facts of Life, Growing Up (All about Adolescence, body changes and sex) - What's Happening to Me?
