Managing Puberty, Social Challenges, and Everything: A Video Guide for Girls

“THE TALK” just got easier. This program for girls nearing or going through puberty builds their knowledge, confidence and self-esteem. The program covers physical, mental and social changes, including clear explanations of menstruation and conception using drawings of the female and male reproductive systems. While appropriate for any girl, it’s especially helpful for young women diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome or autism requiring support, or who are naturally shy. The video’s content advisers include parents, psychologists, teachers, counselors, autism education experts, an OB-GYN doctor and, most importantly, girls. The program is divided into chapters, so parents and professionals can choose which subjects to share with girls based on their stages of development, and answer their questions afterward. Schools will find this a valuable edition to sex education programs.
