Book about puberty, etc for 10 year age?

[Melaniee]

I came from a totally "we don't talk about anything" family and learned about such things when the school had a 'tea' for the girls, and the school nurse came to show the entire class a video on reproduction. I believe this was fourth grade. Then they pretty much added upon that in a 6th grade talk, a 7th grade video, and then I think again in the 10th grade.

I feel as though my 9 yo is on the verge of questioning such things and *I* don't know WHERE to begin in talking about it.  Any suggestions? I was thinking an age-appropriate book would help me come up with some age-appropriate talking points regarding bodies maturing, and perhaps even "birds and the bees."

At this point we have discussed NOTHING, as no questions have ever been asked. 

Thanks.

it's perfectly normal is wonderful.

what's going on down there is pretty good, too.

Is this a Waldorf related question, or did you accidentally post in the wrong forum. I'm happy to move thread if it landed in the wrong place.

[Melaniee]

Yes, I intended to get a point of view from other Waldorf parents as our book preferences tend to differ sometimes. 

Thank you for asking, first, before moving. I appreciate it. :)

The Care and Keeping of You is written by a mother with two kids in Waldorf school. It's a great book.

Thanks. I have heard great things about that book, unfortunately I'm looking for one for a boy right now. On that note, this one mentions it's modeled after the AG version.
