Everything…Periods

Menstruation is still a taboo subject for many young people. Embarrassed to talk to their mothers or their peers, many girls have numerous questions or anxieties – and Tricia Kreitman, Agony Aunt on teenage magazines and her two co-researchers, consultant paediatricians Dr Fiona Finlay and Dr Rosemary Jones have been listening for many years to what girls really want to know.

This eminently qualified trio have written a highly readable, accessible and reassuring guide. This book has received the approval of the Family Planning Association.

"This is an excellent insider's guide for girls and young women. It deals with those aspects of growing up which people are often reluctant to talk about, but which are so important."
TERRY RYALL, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OF THE GUILD ASSOCIATION

"The strength of this book is that it's based on what girls have asked and what they actually want to know about periods…

The result is a book focusing less on biological detail and more on practical advice…

At the end of each chapter is a problem page…

A useful read for girls between 8 and 14."
