I am including this new guide to puberty for kids ages 9-13. The name of the guide is You-ology: A Puberty Guide for Everybody by Dr. Trish Hutchinson, Dr. Melisa Holmes and Dr. Kathyrn Lowe. This was just published this month and is a 150 page guide by the American Academy of Pediatrics. Pien Huang of NPR interviewed the authors.
“We talk about how every body is different,” Lowe says, “Breasts can come in all different shapes and sizes. We try to normalize the variety of [ways] the human body goes through puberty and how there is no one right way.”
“Two of the authors, Dr. Trish Hutchison, a pediatrician and Dr. Melisa Holmes, an OB/GYN, teach puberty classes and co-founded an online puberty education hub called Girlology. The third, Lowe is a pediatrician who helps steer the AAP on lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender health and wellness. The idea for the book grew out of interacting with kids and seeing the need for accurate information that avoids shame.” – NPR – Rien Huang – April 23, 2022
