Those are some really great magazines! I am the librarian at a preK-8th grade school and have ordered some of the American Girl books for the girls to read. Sadly- some of them will never talk to their moms (or any adult woman) about these things and need to know answers.
Glad to know there are neat resources out there for them!!
I *loved* Sassy magazine!
I find it so sad that some parents want to ignore that their children are growing up by not talking about it/being in denial (my step-mom and dad were among them). I NEVER had "the talk" about puberty, sex, makeup, dating, etc. I used kleenex (embarrasing, yes) for the first 3 months of my periods because I knew I couldn't approach my parents. My best friend's mom hooked me up from then on out. They just ignored it and hoped I would figure it out on my own. Luckily I made good decisions, but a couple of my sisters- not so much.
Roxy (Limewave and others)- your daughters are increidbly lucky to have you!! I wish I'd had that growing up.
