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.
