Body Pro by Erin Falligant

Book Review

A short overview of this book

Body Pro by Erin Falligant is a great book for tween girls about their body and will start many conversations about body image, self esteem and the messages we receive from the media.

This is an interesting book, mainly because there aren’t all that many books on this topic for tween girls. I like this book because it is full of lots of interesting facts and tips. The layout means that it is a quick and enjoyable read. My ‘nearly 13’ daughter read it and enjoyed it. She found the trivia and facts very interesting and asked me lots of questions. So it was a great conversation starter.

The book starts off by talking about what happens to your body as you go through puberty, talking about bras, periods, acne, hair care, and more. It also looks at good nutrition and how to care for your body with a healthy diet, exercise and enough sleep. Anxiety and stress is also talked about, looking at what tweens and teens do to destress. It talks about bodies in the media, and encourages girls to question what is and isn’t real.

I really like this book, and so did my daughter. It is the sort of book that would start many conversations over many years!

Ideal Age

Hey there! I’m Cath Hak from Sex Ed Rescue, and today I want to talk about a book called Body Pro. It’s a great resource for tweens, especially girls, that covers topics like bodies and body image.

Before we dive in, I just wanted to let you know that I offer a free five-day boot camp on sex education. It’s perfect for parents who have questions and want to understand more about this important topic. You can find the link to sign up for the boot camp in the description below.

Now, let’s get back to Body Pro. It’s part of a series of books that cover different subjects. I’ve already reviewed the social media one, and there’s another one I’m really interested in getting my hands on. Check out all the different topics they cover!

The great thing about these books is that they’re easy to read. They’re not filled with pages and pages of text. Instead, they use dot points to present information in a simple and concise way. My twelve-year-old daughter actually enjoyed reading it. She found it interesting and finished it in about an hour.

Body Pro is specifically targeted towards girls, and the author, who is a child psychologist, knows exactly what kids can understand and what they’re interested in. The book covers a range of topics, from puberty and body care to hair, nails, and even makeup. It’s packed with little facts and trivia that can spark conversations with your child.

One thing I really appreciate about this book is how it addresses body image and the influence of media. It talks about the unrealistic standards portrayed in magazines and encourages girls to focus on what’s realistic and take care of their bodies in healthy ways. It also touches on the importance of sleep, managing stress, and having someone to talk to about body-related issues.

At the end of the book, there are some useful tips for talking to adults about these topics. It’s a great resource to help facilitate open and ongoing conversations with your child.

Overall, I think Body Pro is a fantastic book. There aren’t many resources out there that specifically focus on bodies for tweens, and this one does it in a way that’s engaging and easy to understand. I highly recommend checking it out, whether you buy a copy or borrow it from the library. It’s a book that can start many conversations and be a valuable resource for years to come.

I hope this review helps you make an informed decision. Cheers!
