Teenage girls have a harder time than previous generations... Does she know what to expect and how to navigate the challenges with confidence?

You've had 'the talk'. Your daughter has started her period, or she knows what to expect when it arrives... but is she truly prepared for everything that being a teenager entails?

The reality is that being a teenager is a little different from how it was when you were growing up. Girls face contemporary challenges that simply weren't around for older generations... and no matter how well you think you've prepared them for their teenage years, there are bound to be a few things that slip through the net.

Your daughter doesn't just need to know about the changes in her body.

She needs to know about navigating significant issues like sexuality, gender identity, and body image... and she needs to know what to expect from the world around her while she battles the changes in her body and her soaring emotions.

She needs to do this in her own time and at her own pace - after all, a huge part of growing up is getting to know yourself and understanding the importance of independence.

But that doesn't mean she has to go it alone... Simply by providing her with the resources she needs in order to explore her identity and prepare her for the big wide world, you can help her step into womanhood completely in charge of her own pathway.

Providing her with this unique guide to adolescence is the perfect way to do this. Inside, she'll discover:

• The plus side of periods - how what seems like a curse is actually something to celebrate
• Why she wants to sleep all the time... and what she can do to feel better when that simply isn't possible
• The surprising link between fashion and nutrition - and why she needs to be aware of this
• Everything she ever wanted to know about bras (plus everything she didn't realize she needed to know!)
• The ins and outs of body image... and why (and how) to make sure she has a positive one
• How to navigate the mental health challenges that seem to spring up from nowhere
• The reason she's struggling with her confidence... and what she can do to overcome this
• A complete understanding of gender identity - perfect for if she's unsure of her own or wants to understand a friend who's struggling with theirs
• How to navigate bullying and harassment - whether online or in real space

And much more.

Adolescence has always been a challenging time, and today's teenagers are facing things you may not be equipped to teach them about... But that's okay. All you need to do is provide them with the resources they need to understand themselves and the world around them - and they'll do the rest.
