‘Puberty is when a child’s body turns into an adult body’ – Making changes make sense!
Author Jamie Meyers has written books on 101 Things Every Boy Needs To Know, Social Skills for Kids, Public Speaking for Teens, Success Habits for Teens, Teen Boys Survival Guide and now adds EVERYTHING BOYS 8-12 SHOULD KNOW. It is obvious from reading this very helpful guide that the author appreciates that pre-teen boys would rather have this resource than asking adults for answers! Jamie provides that one-on-one conversational advice that delivers considerable support to lads in this age range: no lecturing, just friendly sharing!
Moving from pre-pubertal to pubertal life changes is well explained – ‘your body is changing because it’s growing.’ Simply stated, the ‘new developments’ in anatomy and hormone advances (voice changes, body changes, sexuality, etc.) become understandable in Jamie’s manner of communication. Additional insights into hygiene, nutrition, exercise, and emotional challenges are coupled with excellent sections on developing plans for the future and seeking the life that will be most gratifying. In an accessible, conversational manner this guide covers those important topics pre-teenage boys need to address – and now in the privacy of reading a book! Highly recommended
