The Boy's Body Book (Fifth Edition): Everything You Need to Know for a Healthy, Happy YOU! (Boys & Girls Body Books) Paperback – Illustrated, May 7, 2019

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.

I got this for my son, and while some of it made him giggle, it also has been helpful for him to use while he's trying to navigate new feelings, smelly armpits, and more. Highly recommend!

I have been in the Healthcare field for 25 years and have transitioned into the role of a family therapist, so I ordered this to utilize as a teaching tool for parents. I must say that it is an easy read that offers information without an agenda. As in, the information is accurate and beneficial for you children without going into the more controversial topics. Highly recommended!

Good knowledge for young males

It’s written so my son can understand what’s going on without me explaining it to him. The wording is very age appropriate.

I am a strong advocate for having these materials readily available before a child ever needs them. I purchased this book over a year ago and this week, at the age of nine our oldest is entering puberty. It is said that it happens much earlier for kids now and, I wanted to have a reliable resource available that was written so that he could understand it on his own, we could go over some of the sections together, and it has been very helpful for him.Kids get a lot of information from other kids at school and today he shared with me that he was so relieved to discover that blood wouldn’t be squirting out of his penis each month. It’s just so important to have information available before they need it. Kids are under so much pressure and life is so much harder than when I was a kid. This is the last thing they should be wearing about.

This book is perfect for any boy wondering about his body and the changes he will go through. It is an easy read and covers more than just body changes but also relationship changes.

This is a legit book written by an experienced school nurse for growing young men. This book will help parents break the ice on the seemingly awkward changes their sons will go through as they change from boys to men. By having them read this book, the hope is that they may address any questions to us if they're comfortable versus hearing it from their friends. I am reading the book cover to cover as I just received it today and so far I appreciate all the points made in an easy to read format. I will probably wait another year before my seven year old gets this book in his hands, it's for 8-12 years old as a starting point. I highly recommend 👌☺👍
