A Puberdade é Uma Bomba!
by Karen Campbell Elvira SousaKaren Campbell é professora e conselheira parental, galardoada com inúmeros prémios, com um trabalho notável que veio preencher uma lacuna ainda existente no âmbito da educação para a Puberdade. Os pais não querem que os seus filhos leiam um livro que inclua informação sexual explícita. As crianças que estão a entrar na idade da Puberdade são ainda muito jovens; nalguns casos, podem ainda não ter completado os 9 anos. Ainda brincam com bonecas e com Legos e, no fundo, são muito infantis. Quando os seus próprios filhos começaram a fase da Puberdade, Karen fez uma pesquisa sobre a literatura existente, mas os livros que encontrou estavam todos escritos numa linguagem que não era a mais indicada para crianças. Este livro, porém, vai informar os seus filhos sobre uma grande diversidade de questões numa linguagem apropriada e fácil de entender. O livro está dividido em quatro capítulos. Conselhos para os Jovens - Este capítulo aborda temáticas como a confiança, as mudanças de humor, os sentimentos, as pressões do crescimento, amigos, bullies, e, claro, as terríveis borbulhas. Um Guia para Elas - O segundo capítulo do livro é dedicado às meninas e procura dar-lhes conselhos nos seguintes tópicos : o que é normal; peito e sutiãs; lidar com piadas incómodas; pêlos no corpo e odor corporal; forma do corpo e imagem; períodos, e namorados. O que Acontece aos Rapazes? - Este capítulo é para os rapazes e vai focar a mudança de voz; pêlos ; forma do corpo e tamanho; o interesse pelo sexo oposto; genitais; borbulhas e odor corporal; e as fatídicas mudanças de humor. O último capítulo - Conselhos para os Pais - contém informação que o vai esclarecer sobre o modo como os filhos mudam nesta fase; a imagem corporal e algumas estratégias para assegurar que eles se tornam confiantes com o corpo que têm; o súbito interesse pelo sexo oposto, e a maneira s
