The New Puberty: How To Navigate Early Development in Today's Girls

In their groundbreaking book, The New Puberty, Louise Greenspan, MD, and Julianna Deardorff, PhD -- two leading experts on the root causes and potential consequences of early puberty in girls -- have written a reassuring and empowering guide that will forever change the way we view puberty and parent the next generation.

Drs. Greenspan and Deardorff explain why girls are developing earlier and offer parents, teachers, coaches, and caretakers guidance to initiate and continue the conversation about puberty in an age-appropriate way. Impeccably researched, engaging, and urgently needed, The New Puberty provides a roadmap to help young girls move forward with confidence, ensuring their future well-being.

Description

What happens when a girl has the brain of an 8-year-old and the body of a 13-year-old? Just a generation ago, fewer than 5 percent of girls started puberty before the age of 8; today that percentage has more than doubled. Early puberty is not just a matter of physical transformation -- it's deeply psychological too, with effects that can put a girl at higher risk for behavioral problems as well as long-term health challenges such as obesity, depression, eating disorders, and even cancer. What can we do to help lead our girls through this major transition to live happy and healthy lives?
