The Boy's Body Book (Fifth Edition): Everything You Need to Know for a Healthy, Happy YOU! (Boys & Girls Body Books)

As a mother to a 10-year-old boy, I've found "The Boy's Body Book (Fifth Edition): Everything You Need to Know for Growing Up!" incredibly helpful for navigating pre-adolescence with my son. It tactfully addresses a wide array of topics relevant to boys approaching puberty, from physical and emotional changes to personal hygiene and respecting others, in a straightforward and age-appropriate manner. The book encourages open dialogue between my son and me, making him comfortable to seek answers to his queries. Its updated content is both relevant and sensitive to today's societal and technological contexts, enhancing its appeal to the modern reader. While more illustrations would be beneficial for visual engagement, the book's comprehensive coverage and accessible language outweigh this minor shortfall. It's a valuable resource for both parents and sons, promoting a healthy understanding and acceptance of the changes during this critical growth phase.

Great book for 8 yer old boy

I bought this book a few yrs back for my oldest boy, when he started asking questions, and now buying another for my youngest boy. As a single mom it's hard to answer some of their questions but this book answers the questions, without the over graphic content that the internet would give, in a way they will understand. Great for any young boy just needing to know the answers to why their body is doing "this".

Be sure to proof read before sharing with your son. This book is well designed for educational purposes. Please be sure to read before giving to your kid. Make sure that each area is aligned with what you want your kid to know at their current age.

Exactly what I needed to prepare my 10- and 11-year-old boys for “the talk” during our guys’ weekend.

This provided a good introduction to "puberty and changes happing to my body" book my teen boy with autism spectrum. After reading through the book together, we sometimes go back to some sections where he wants to revisit. For more advanced topics (i.e. sex ed), we will need to use another book.

I bought this for my son when the school was going to have their puberty talk. As a teacher, I know what is covered at schools. This book reviewed that but also added in more of the emotional side as well as the physical. It covered bullying to changes in friendships, and even how their relationship may change with their parents as they grow. It was such a wealth of knowledge for my son and made discussions about this time of life east for him to learn about.

Started reading this to my son when he was 8, he's now 9 and we're still going. He loves it. It explains things in a very easy way, and he can ask questions without being embarrased. I would definitely recommend this book.
