Page 9 - (DK) Help Your Kids with Growing Up: A No-Nonsense Guide to Puberty and Adolescence

Social media, the Internet, and teenage friends can all be sources of
information, and of misinformation. But a book like this, which is packed with
information suitable for a range of ages and to which I and so many other
leading experts have contributed, can broach tricky topics sensitively and
accurately. Whether leaving primary school or doing A-level biology, some
young people may wish to read parts of this book on their own, in private.
Similarly, many parents may want to dip into these pages by themselves before
sharing the contents with their kids whenever they feel it’s appropriate. By
encouraging communication between parents and their children, we hope
that many teenagers can approach this most exciting stage in life with
confidence and enjoyment, while feeling supported and understood.
