Talking w/ Snurf about... stuff

[rivergdss]

I'm not ready to admit it, but I can see Snurf's body starting to change.  The clock is ticking, and we need to talk about what's coming next with her body before it surprises her.  Can anyone recommend some good resources for either me or her?

I had Chick read "Are you There God It's Me Margaret" which I remember having a significant impact on my thoughts but Chick kind of read and said "ew blood" and ignored it.

I have had recommended the American Girl book about what's happening, and I am going to find the old one I read long ago (now updated) which is called something like "What's Happening to Me".

I've found the hardest thing isn't the resources. It's the unwillingness of the child to want to grow up and sit and listen. Or they listen and then promptly ignore it because no child wants to grow into a woman. I think the thing that will end up helping Chick most is that one of her BFFs has already started her period, and so Chick will need to deal with that (and her friend is very down to earth about it all).
