Additional information
by Elisabeth Raith-Paula (Author)
This is the companion book to the Guiding Star Cycle Show Workshop designed by Dr. Elisabeth Raith-Paula, for young girls ages 9-12 to help prepare them for the exciting years in which their amazing bodies develop from young girls into fertile women.
In a natural, entertaining and comprehensible way Dr. Elisabeth Raith-Paula describes what every young girl and woman should know about her female body, cycle, and fertility. The information within this book eases young girls' concerns about the changes that take place during puberty and provides vital information for older girls and young women. It answers questions like "when am I fertile?" and "how do different contraceptives methods interact with my female body?" in order to dispel risky myths and misunderstandings due to a lack of sharing the knowledge about the fertile phase in a woman's menstrual cycle.
This book provides clear and science-based sources of information that can be used as a stand-alone resource for school teachers, youth workers and clinicians. It also supports mothers in preparing their daughters for their first menstruation in a loving way-a unique approach in sexual education literature!
