Family & health

For teens, tweens, and mothers of both. Just like Deal With It broke new ground in frankly discussing teen sexuality in a brand-new fresh way, and Our Bodies, Ourselves has become a backlist powerhouse, Weiss and Friedman's book takes on the topic so near and dear to many of us- our breasts and what exactly goes on in there during development.

The book centers around questions that thousands of girls have raised during research the author has performed, and in school assemblies- and the authors provide a safe place within its pages for the answers.

The real facts about your ""girls"" and how to take care of them

""This all-in-one, indispensable breast health guide captures exactly what teen girls and their moms really need- practical, easy-to-read, great advice. It's one of the best gifts you can give to your girl.""-Harvey Karp, M.D., F.A.A.P., author of The Happiest Toddler on the Block, board member of Healthy Child, Healthy World

Girls are as anxious and confused about their breasts as ever. That' s why Marisa Weiss, M.D., an oncologist and breast health specialist, and her teenage daughter, Isabel, decided to create Taking Care of Your ""Girls."" Together, they polled more than three thousand girls and their moms and came up with a surprisingly huge list of worries and misconceptions. Based on their research, you'll get answers to questions like-

. How do I know when I need to get my first bra-and what kind should I get? . Do big breasts have a higher risk of breast cancer than small ones? . How do I get rid of stretch marks? . When will my breasts stop growing? . How do I examine my own breasts? . Will the size of my breasts even out? . Do tanning, antiperspirants, wearing a bra at night, and talking on a cell phone cause breast cancer?

A groundbreaking book for both mothers and daughters, Taking Care of Your ""Girls"" is a practical guide to breast care and a girl-to-girl conversation about the feelings and emotions that come with the territory.
