DISAPPOINTED!!
VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE BOOK.NOT ENOUGH DETAIL FOR KIDS TO UNDERSTAND WHAT PARTS OF THEIR BODY CAN NOT AND SHOULD NOT
A Grandmother's Review
This book discusses a difficult subject in a kid-friendly manner. We want to arm our children with information, without making them distrustful of all people. The author and illustrator have presented a strong subject in a format that is informative, friendly, and reassuring.I highly recommend YOUR BODY BELONGS TO YOU.

Your Body Belongs to You
I was looking for a book to help me explain to my children ages 3 and 5 that their body is theirs and they are the only ones who can touch their private parts. Also, that they have the right to refuse any kind of touch that makes them uncomfortable and this book illustrated this concept very well. ... Read more

A great book to get the dialogue going...
I checked out this book from our public library and read itfirst on my own.The format of the book is several short chapters filled with great information followed by questions submitted by girls, which then the author goes on to answer. The book is written in words that are easy for kids to understand and the illustrations are clever and funny.In the other reviews, I read about concerns with the subject of masturbation.That is found ONLY in a question in the Q & A section of Chapter 7.I personally did not feel comfortable with the topic at our age group so when I BOUGHT our own copy, I just tore page 79-80 out and by doing so I didn't disturb neither the end of Chapter 7 nor the beginning of Chapter 8.Overall, this is a great book to get the conversation started with my daughter (almost 10) that has just started taking the leap from little girl to young lady.I have three daughters and I will use this book with all three.Hope this helps...
My 8 year old and I love this book
My 8 year old daughter met me at the door last nite and asked if we could read more from the book - I've been reading her one chapter a night. I love the way the topics are handled without being graphic. She asked if we could read two chapters tonite. I would recommend this to evey parent facing puberty with a young girl.

A wonderful book for your pre-teen girl
My 8 1/2 year old loved it.It was informative, amusing and easy to read.It was in no way intimidating for her.It covered subjects she is beginning to need to know about;hair growth, body odor, breast development, growth spurts, menustration etc.It was not too clinical and each chapter included questoins by children and answers.There is a strong emphasis on the fact that everyone grows in different ways and at different times and that your body will grow at the right rate for you.A lot on loving and respecting your body.Food disorders are discussed.There was not a clinical discussion on sex which I felt should be put off for a year or so anyway.A book I purchased at the same time "The period book" has more on that topic and peer issues.I'll give that to her at 10.

A good primer for younger teenagers.
This is a primer for younger teenagers. It is well written, although it needs to be updated in 2006. It is a textbook more than a think piece. It is a good starter book for parents and younger teenagers.

Changing Bodies out of date
I was very disapointed with the book. Expanded third edition was deceiving because I thought it was new - my oversight.The book is out of date - I oversee a Center that teaches sex education and this was not helpful.

The other reviewers must know the writer
this book needed more meat, it was not helpful

Hot Stuff is Hot Stuff
What a wonderful book. I read the reviews here before purchasing and my only reservation was with the "sarcastic" humor in the book. Actually, it is the humor that makes this book work. It was the bait that got my son hooked on the book.
I Wanted To Like This More, But....
This book was difficult to use with elementary age children, especially those who are K-4th grade. Some of the sarchastic humor and tongue-in-cheek humor was very tough for younger children and/or kids with lower intellectual functioning. When I tried to use this several times with kids; the concepts did not engage them and seemed to go above their heads. I would also like this book more if it was sectioned off in short activities and lessons.

Editorial Review

Richard Carlson has written numerous books encouraging folks not to"sweat the small stuff", and his title for teens is as warm, wise, and witty ashis previous works. His tone is one of an older family friend who manages toadvise while still maintaining the minimum level of coolness that teens requirefrom those who intend to guide them into adulthood. Read more

better than i thought
When my grandma first gave me this book, I thought it was gonna be another useless book saying "just be yourself" and all that [...]. But this book actually has substance and I was surprised that I actually got something out of it. Recommended to any teen on the "emotional roller coaster" who needs some guidance in their life.

Outstanding
I always read books I get for my daughter first to confirm that I got her something right/good for her.This one is no doubt a winner.The titles of each chapter were catching enough to make you curious as to what you were about to read and then the story you read were a great explanation to the sometimes funny and odd titles.The story in each chapter was absolutely great. They were short enough to keep any kids attention, make a good lesson and walk away feeling good that you learned something new and were inspired.The really great thing is, my 13 year old who usually complains about sitting still and reading because she'd rather be actively playing sports, isn't complaining a bit about winding down and reading this book.She loves that most chapters are only 2-3 pages each, but even better, she is mimicking what they are teaching and I'm loving it, too, as a mom.This is a great read, a great inspiration and a lot of the stories are what these kids can relate to.I plan to buy it as a gift to others, but I'm not sure if I should get it for the parents or the kids.

Wonderful Read!
This book definently helped me to chill out with certain struggles and people in my life. This book is a wonderful read for teenagers, because it suggests, not tells, how teenagers take things, and how they should act in certain situations. I would definently recommend this book to any teenager, or parents of their teenagers, who are struggling to find themselves, and also who are struggling in dealing with life. ... Read more

Great Helper for Working with Youth
This book is easy to read. I like the format and the design of the book.The author speaks clearly and in language that is understandable without the help of a dictionary.Fantastic book.

Great Resource
I've come to know how important it is to meet the needs of today's youth.There are some youth struggling in areas where we may have not struggled and getting solid information to minister to these youth is vital.This book provides that information!

Absolutely Vital for Christian Leadership
This book is probably the best I've seen on the subject of counselling. As a teacher I have found this book useful in teaching on counselling as well as applying the principles to life situations. The book is titled, "counselling youth" but most problems that exist in adults are rooted in their youth. I have found that these principles are not only in young people but also apply to adults and their situations. Depression, anxiety, suicide etc don't vary too much with age. This book doesn't focus too much of roots of problems but does very well in dealing with the fruits. People who want to deal with the roots, read materials by John and Paula Sandford. ... Read more

Uplifting for all
I really enjoyed reading this book being a teenager myself. It was very inspirational and touching. It is a good book for teenagers in any situation. I think it would be good for parents to read this book also because they could have a better understanding of what their teenager might be going through. This book talked about issues that are harder to talk about. It provides anonymous help lines for teenagers in need. The tops range from life to death. It is a very uplifting book for all.

THE BEST BOOK IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOW! This book was soo amazing, I couldn't stop reading it! This book made me realize that I should be greatful to have such a awesome life and there are others out there that have hard times. To all those people who wrote there stories in the book I'm inspired by what they had to go through. All teens will love it but I have to warn you there are many sad parts and are very powerful so I think you should think about it first. If you're sure you want to buy it well go, you won't be dissapionted!

I LOVE THIS BOOK
i love this book. Because it has real life stories in it. And it really shows and helps kids out with tough stuff there going throught. It has like all the major categories of problems teanagers go through. My favorite sections are the stories on learning life lessons, and growing up. because it really had an influence on me, how kids grow up so fast. and how teenagers really need to learn life lesson. Its a great book and i recomend it to everyone. It will really help you get through tough times and know other people are going through the same problems. ... Read more

Help your son stay pure
This is a great book for many reasons. First off, it makes the point very clearly that a father's relationship with his sons is vitally important during the "second half of the game," the years starting with pre-adolescence. Not only are too many of us are caught up in difficult work schedules, but it gets more difficult. No longer is he that little boy who worships the ground you walk on. It's too easy to make an effort and, when you are rebuffed, just quit and hope for the best. All too easy to just figure, "well I turned out ok ... besides, maybe this is the way kids relate to their parents nowadays."
Will Change the Life of You and Your Son
I was thouroughly impressed with the writing of this book. While being careful to not overstate the obvious, the authors were forward and truthful. I felt that their honesty and integrity as men were painted in the way they told their own stories.
Fabulous Resource for Dad ....and Mom!
Fred Stoeker and the team of EveryMan have provided an invaluable tool for equipping young man in the battle for sexual purity. Fred provides dialog and insight to the necessary discussions that will need to take place with young sons. A must have for every father. (The author does acknowledge the single mother and her plight and provides gracious assistance throughout the book.) ... Read more

Great book
This is an excellent book for girls who don't have an older sibling that could tell them about their experience through puberty. It is also great for teens entering middle school. During elementary school, there arent many cliques around but in middle school, you'll see cliques EVERYWHERE,and I mean everywhere. this book will teache the child how to deal with the attitudes of the people in the clique, and not to be ashamed of who they are.

Cute for those under 15
This book is extremely cute-for those under the age of 15. I bought this book when I was 12 and I'm 17 now. Some of the things have stuck with me. Like how to find your power stance and how to plunge a toliet (don't ask). But as I look through it now there's alot of things that seem like they will be good advice but are just obvious. Almost ever section and topic is very blunt and striaght forward. Like the "Be in Charge of Your Financial Life" is quite obvious with the five steps as 1. Earn More 2. Spend Less 3. Save Sufficiently 4. Invest Wisely and 5. Give Generously. And that was as about as indebth as you get. So overall it really didn't grab my attention and bored me.

My Mistake
I was hoping, without going to a bookstore and completely looking through it, that this would be a benficial book for my 13 year old.Instead it put her in tears.Instead of accepting themselves as who they are and how they look, they bring kids to the conclusion that they cannot be OK if they break out.My daughter was very upset and all I could do was apologize.If you are looking for a book that wants to compress your daughter into the current fashions and mainstream, maybe this is for you, then again, I strongly believe that my daughter is special and that this has not helped her self-confidence or her understanding of all the changes happening.Personally, I do not want my daughter caught up in all of the latest makeup and dress, I want her to be able to wear what she is comfortable in and feel comfortable in her own skin.Next time I will review any books I get for her much closer. ...

So Fun
My whole family loved this book. I had as much fun as my 5-year-old. It was easy enough for my youngest while still challenging my oldest(8). I love these books and will be purchasing the whole set.

Great for all ages
This is an excellent series of books that are great for children and adults.My newly 4 year old daughter is able to do many of the problems and enjoys the focus and accomplishment of doing them.

I love this book!!!

Hard to talk about subject
I thought this book was great - it was really colorful. The overall feel reminded me of the book "Now I Know the Ten Commandments". I recommend it to anyone.

Well Done
I got this for my very curious 6.5yo and I agree it is very well done and very tasteful. I do think you will have to be dealing with a mature child if they are 5 & 6 and reading this book. I agree with the others, that this is geared more towards 7 and up. No matter the age, I think it is best that my children learn about sex early and what is about from me. She has already asked a ton of questions and I am glad she trusts me enough to ask.

Informative
This book, in the "God's Design for Sex" series is a good book to read with your child. The only complaint I have with the series is that I think the information given is too explicit for the ages recommended.I would wait until my child is at least 8 to read this book with him.The same with the others in the series, I will be waiting until the last age recommended (or beyond).The series did do a good job showing Sex and our bodies as God designed them to be - important to teach, especially if they will be having "sex/puberty education" from the public school system. ...

A great motivator
I bought this for my teenage daughter and could see a big improvement after she read it. This book contains information that will help provide the foundation for skills needed throughout her adult life. I only wish that I had found this for my oldest daughter who has since gone off to college. If it didn't have the word "teenager" in it I'd send her a copy.

This book can really help you get organized.....
Lately, many teenagers feel like they under the same crunch as their parents to get everything done (school, homework, friends, chores, jobs, etc.), and yet still want free time- and this book can really help you get your work done and still have a life, at the same time. The way that Julie Morgenstern writes this book is different than your typical organizing book- because it helps you to create an organizational system that caters to your personal needs, not someone else's. Julie states that since every teen as different hobbies, interests, activities, etc., their usage of time and the way their bedroom is organized will also be different.
Revolutionary
i bought this book on a whim becusae i knew i needed serious help. I used to have an insanely messy room, but this book was incredible! it is really easy to read and actually explains how to get organized in a way that suits you. its so inspiring and has great stories that make you feel that your not the only disorganized teen in the world. after reading this i completly oprganized my room and everyone was shocked that they could see my floor again!I also have an insanley busy shecudle and this book really hjelped me figure out how to organize my time! it was really a fabulous book and the only thing that ever helped me prganize my life-much more effective then my mother nagging me! ...

Wonderful
The tell-it-as-it-is book, Girls of Grace, covers lots of topics that many girls would have questions about.Whether or not, you are a girl who believe, the book's take on topics like boys and friends are sensitive and sound.Also recommended books like this are:Gifted Girls Activities Guide, Let's Talk, and Beautiful.

Great Book!
I loved this book! It discusses everything a girl my age worries about! After every chapter they have a little study guide that you can fill out. This book really helped me in my Christian Walk and I highly reccomend it!

Super Duper
This is a great book!I am trying to start doing a quiet time with God every day, but it's hard.This book, though, is making it become much easier for me.It gives really good advice and helps with problems I'm having right now!Thanks, Point of Grace!!! ... Read more

Creative approach to dealing with grief
I work in an Alternative HS and have found that my students who most would think the book looks "corney" have requested copies of the book after looking through it.I like the fact that it addresses issues of anger that the adolescent may have (or may not even realize they have) towards the deceased.I work with high-risk youth and the family dynamics are always so complex.I also like the fact that it addresses changes that the adolescent will have to make and doesn't "sugar coat" things.But, it pays respect to the deceased in a tasteful way, and it is way for the adolescent to write memories/stories he/she might forget. A great book
This is a wonderful Journal for kids.On my first read through I felt it was geared a little more toward 9 to 13 year olds, rather than older teens.However, the content is excellent and the ideas and exercises will really help grieving teens work through the difficult grief process.

An excellent choice for ANYONE suffering a loss.
I ordered this journal for my two teen-aged daughters,both of whom were suffering greatly with the loss of my mother, their grandmother. The book is a wonderful aid in helping them express all the things they were afraidto vocalize. It allows them to write down their thoughts and feelings onsuch subjects as what they were doing when they found out the person haddied, unresolved issues with the person who died and how they would likethem to be resolved now, where they believe their loved one is now, and howthe future will be without the person they love. It allows the teen to seethat they are not alone in their grief, that others have the same thoughtsas they do. I highly reccommend this book to ANYONE who is experiencingloss in their life. It leads you gently through the entire grievingprocess-I can't say enough about how it helped us through a very difficulttime in our lives. ... Read more

Spells out the unique dangers of teen drinking
Having navigated through the rocks and landmines of parenting three boys through adolescence, I know that drinking, at least occasionally, can be a part of the journey. We never encouraged it, never "enabled" it, never denied it.
All the elements of a fantastic read are here!
As someone who has experienced the wrath of addiction up close and personally in family members - as have most of us - and been disappointed in the lack of personal stories focused on recovery, communication and scope of the issue, I was at first skeptical of this book when I read about it in a People magazine feature recently; I doubted its substantiality. But I was won over within just a few pages. This educational and readable work is the real deal. Attributes I noticed as I screamed through this page-turner:
Compelling read
This book should be a part of every family's library, a gift from concerned grandparents, a required read for college freshmen, on every teacher's desk, a fun airplane read, a part of every treatment center and a mainstay in the armamentarium of those who counsel youth.

Teaches Lifelong Health and Openmindedness about Trying New Foods
This book educates your child about the health level and quantity-intake of different foods, using the traffic light gradations of red, yellow, and green.Even today, after reading this book to my 4 1/2 old daughter since she was 2 1/2, she will pipe up and say, "Hey, this is a green light food, Mom!"We also use some of the recipes listed towards the end of the book, especially our own version of a balanced fruit smoothie.
As straightforward as it says: Eat Healthy Feel Great
-Puts the revised 2005 Food Pyramid designers to shame withits straightforward, clear approach (versus the revised pyramid 'stripes' that are supposed to indicate how much of each fod group to eat but who can figure it out at a glance?)
Building Good Nutritional Habits
What a wonderful resource for parents who are trying to "do the right thing" -- to teach their children healthy eating habits in the midst of a society that promotes the fast, processed, and packaged. Dr. Sears categorizes food into green light/yellow light/red light groups, and it's a concept my children (ages 2, 4) readily understand. The text is simple and clear, and the message is presented in a fun way. This book would be a big help to any parents interested in changing their families' eating habits for the better. There are parts in the book that are just for parents: they explain nutrition, as well as make suggestions on how to incorporate more "green light" foods in the family's meals. My children enjoy this book. They ask for it by name -- we've read it dozens of times. ... Read more

Please read this book!!
This book was such an amazing inspiration to me.I am married to a youth pastor so working with teenage girls is a way of life for me. I read this book in preparation for a "Pure Freedom" retreat in which I will be a mentor.After reading the book, all I can say is I can't wait to see God in action in those girls lives through this book!!What a down to earth, fun, and MAJORLY effective way Dannah has of ministering the truth about sex and purity to a generation of young women being constantly lied to about their value and sexuality.If you are a parent of pre or teenage daughters I would highly recommend that you read this book for yourself and then read it with your daughter because it is and awesome opportunity for you to come along side of her and help her grow into the woman of God she should be.I plan on using this book as a ten week bible study with the girls in my youth group and I can't wait!!

I will put this book in the hands of each of my daughters
Dannah walks you through not only the why but the how to stay pure!Best book I have found for this subject! I highly recommed it to anyone who is dating, or loves someone who is dating.

Inspiring
I am so thankful that I found this book during one ofmy perusals of the Christian section of the bookstore.Gresh has written a wonderful book that is highly inspiring and encouraging to those who want to bring purity into their marriage.Not only does she write in a way that makes one proud to have remained a virgin, but she also ensures that those who may have already taken that step don't feel condemned or left out.There is no judgmental attitude whatsoever. There is no effort to make sex seem like it is only for procreation and that if people are religious they are not to enjoy sex. Each chapter delves into how purity is obtained and maintained and the importance of bringing such purity to the marital bed.Instead of writing a book that tries to drum into you that you should remain a virgin because otherwise you will go to hell, Gresh spells out clearly how wonderful the intimacy is when shared for the first time with your new spouse and how this intimacy is directly related to God's love for us.I would highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to wait until they are married for having sex the first time, or who has had sex, butnow wants to stop andabstain until marriage.It will encourage you and even make you excited about that special gift that God has given to us. ...

Not worth the money
This may be a good book, but the price is outrageous.You are not buying a book, but rather copied pages into a ringed binder.And it is very small.Also, if your child is dealing with anger the last thing you want to give him is a flimsy book he can just get angry at and rip up so easily.That's the first thing my son did.

Absolutely Fantastic
I bought this book for my daughter, who has been having anger management problems at school recently.After working through the sessions together, she seems to be able to talk about her feelings much more easily now rather than just acting on them.She is starting to make friends at school and her schoolwork is improving too. Just fantastic!
