The real facts about your โgirlsโ and how to take care of them
โWell, all my friends think they will never have breastsโand itโs not funnyโbecause a lot of girls feel this way.โ
โElena, 13
โI went up two sizes over summer break! I started seventh grade with a โCโ cup. Then my breasts got weird pink stripes on the side. What happened?โ
โVeronica, 12
Girls are as anxious and confused about their breasts as ever. Thatโs why Marisa Weiss, M.D., an oncologist and breast health specialist, and her teenage daughter, Isabel, decided to create Taking Care of Your โGirls.โ 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, youโll get answers to questions like:
โข How do I know when I need to get my first braโand what kind should I get?
โข Do big breasts have a higher risk of breast cancer than small ones?
โข How do I get rid of stretch marks?
โข When will my breasts stop growing?
โข How do I examine my own breasts?
โข Will the size of my breasts even out?
โข 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 โGirlsโ is a practical guide to breast care and a girl-to-girl conversation about the feelings and emotions that come with the territory.
โThis all-in-one, indispensable breast health guide captures exactly what teen girls and their moms really need: practical, easy-to-read, great advice. Itโs one of the best gifts you can give to your girl.โ
