A Resource for Helping Her

As parents of girls, and as Christian family physicians, we (Dr. Walt Larimore and Dr. Amaryllis Sanchez Wohlever) wroteThe Ultimate Girls’ Body Book for girls 10 - 13 years old - to help them learn about their rapidly changing bodies and feel comfortable in their own skin, and to open a door to conversations with you, as their parent (or, when necessary, other trusted adults and good friends). But, we also wrote the book for parents whose little girl is heading into or going through puberty. We want to help each parents understand some of what the girls in their life may be thinking or experiencing - especially the questions they often ask us but may be scared to ask you. So we’ve designed the book to provide conversation starters about some difficult or taboo topics.
