No one can come in contact with children and young people
without feeling the need of a united effort on the part of the
parents, physicians and teachers to educate our children on the
best care of themselves and their bodies. Ignorance as to facts
and to the best manner of presenting them prevents many a
parent from daring to trespass upon such sacred ground, and
the instruction is postponed from day to day until it is too
late.
With the desire to
aid mothers in giving the necessary instruction to their
daughters, this little ebook has been written. The author has
tried to tell in suitable language the facts that should be
known by every girl from eight to fourteen years of age. The
ebook is of such a character that it may be placed in the hands
of the young girl, but better still it may be read aloud by the
mother to her daughter. It is hoped this ebook will form the
basis of a closer intimacy between mother
and daughter.
Written by an M.D., Confidences: Talks with a Young Girl Concerning
Herself does not frighten one with medical terms or
strange scientific lingo. Instead, it is written lovingly from
the viewpoint of a mother writing a letter to her daughter, and it
approaches the subject of menstruation very indirectly yet
poignantly. It uses age-appropriate terms and analogies to
make the learning fun and meaningful for a young girl.
It is the intention of the author to present the material
in such a way that it encourages discussion between real mothers and
daughters.
Let's Take a Peek
Inside....
Confidences: Talks with a
Young Girl Concerning Herself not only discusses what
happens within the body as a young girl enters adolescence, it also
discusses how a young girl should care for herself as well...from
skin and hair care to exercise and study. All aims are
directed at cultivating a young girl who is educated, healthy, and
poised to become a well-rounded, fit woman.
The chapters you'll find inside include...
-
Chapter 1: The Secret

We encourage you to print this out and read it with your
daughter, or email it to her so that she may read it on her
own. With so many kids reading "blogs" and such today, give
them an interesting, healthy discussion to read...one from a loving
mother to her daughter.
The best part is that you don't even need to be online to
read this ebook! So, if you feel uncomfortable allowing your
young girl onto the internet, this can be a perfect way to allow her
to use the computer without "logging on". She'll get the
information she needs, and you'll have your piece of mind that she
is reading something good for her.
"I want to
help you to grow as beautiful as God meant you to be when He thought
of you first."
