Description
Book Introduction
A Body-Mind Guide for Boys Navigating Puberty
Boys are easily shaken and lost in the face of the waves of growth that are puberty.
Scott Toddenham has stepped forward to help boys who feel anxious about whether they are normal or not by comparing themselves to their friends.
The author, who has worked as a middle school health teacher since 2001, has listened closely to the concerns of young people more closely than anyone else.
Based on these experiences and health knowledge, we introduce the big and small changes of puberty divided into seven topics.
It tells the 'real story' that every boy would be curious about, from physical changes such as height, weight, hair, and genitals, to emotions, relationships with friends and family, and even how to proactively enjoy the rapidly changing social media.
"Boys' Guide to My Body" is a follow-up to "Girls' Guide to My Body" published in 2019, and is a great book for boys and girls entering puberty to read together.
It is also a book tailored to parents and educators who thought, 'Boys just grow up without having to worry about it.'

Into the book
As the testicles and scrotum grow larger, the penis also lengthens and becomes thicker overall.
Like the testicles, the penis grows noticeably around age 12 or 13 and is fully grown around age 17 or 18.
Probably the most common question that boys going through puberty ask themselves is, “Am I normal?”
Just as you might be concerned about other changes, such as height, voice, or body hair, you might also be concerned about penis size.
Everything will grow well.
Remember that puberty changes can vary from person to person, so make sure you're growing well.
--- p.
80-81, from “Changes in the Genitals”
What if you thought everyone stayed up late playing online games? What if you thought everyone was drinking? What if you thought everyone was having sex?
Such awareness can change your actual choices.
The desire to not be left out alone causes teenagers to take avoidable risks.
Don't believe any clever perceptions, and focus on the truth.
Most children and teenagers do not buy alcohol or cigarettes.
And no inappropriate sexual relations online or through dating.
“Everyone does it” should be “No, not everyone does it.”
--- p.
138, from “Peer Pressure”
If you've decided to use social media, there are a few things to consider.
What you say or do on the Internet remains forever.
Deleted texts and photos may seem completely gone and may hide personal information, but the truth is, everything can still be tracked.
People can capture almost anything with a single click using the screen capture feature.
Not only that, your smartphone and computer have an invisible “address” that allows people to find you on the Internet.
I'm not trying to scare you.
I'm telling you the truth.
Knowledge is power, my friend.

Publisher's Review
1.
Boys, it's okay to be different
- I grow at my own pace!
Puberty in boys begins between the ages of 9 and 14 and ends for most by age 18.
This growth process often continues into one's twenties.
During this time, the body and mind change rapidly.
The voice becomes deeper and hair grows on the face, armpits, and pubic area.
The penis and testicles increase in size and the muscles develop.
Boys are easily confused by the breathtaking changes in their bodies and minds, and they want to know if their bodies are growing properly.
However, even friends and adults around you cannot soothe your anxious mind by comparing yourself to others.
The author of this book, Scott Toddenham, has been teaching health subjects and working with young people for nearly 20 years.
I plan summer camps for youth and student-teacher collaboration programs, and I serve on committees for cultural and gender diversity.
In recognition of these achievements, she was selected as the 2019 Teacher of the Year in Health Education by the Society of Health and Physical Education (SHAPE).
Based on these experiences and knowledge, he tells the boy what puberty is and the processes through which the boy's body grows, using specific and vivid examples.
We look at everything from changes in height, weight, and hair to changes in the reproductive organs and nutritional balance.
Furthermore, it contains 'real stories' that boys want to hear today, such as emotional ups and downs, peer pressure, and how to use social media.
As we follow the author's story, step by step, we come to realize that everyone grows at their own pace, and that it's okay to be different.
There will be many boys who will be relieved by this 'ordinary truth'.
Anyone going through puberty will ask themselves these questions:
It's natural to wonder, "Am I normal?"
Everyone has a fundamental need to belong.
We want everything we experience to be normal.
No one likes to feel alone, especially during the changes our bodies go through during puberty.
Above all, almost everything that happens during puberty is normal.
Boys always grow up at their own pace.
It's okay if it's different.
(From "Time of Change")

How can I prepare for my child's accelerating puberty?
― A must-read for both boys and girls, as well as parents and educators.
A boy's puberty doesn't just pass by.
Both children and parents feel anxious about changes in body and mind.
Sex education in schools lags behind children's development, and the world of sex we encounter through the media is more confusing than reality.
This accumulated misconception about sex can cause boys to misunderstand each other.
Following the publication of "My Body Guide for Girls" in 2019, the newly released "My Body Guide for Boys" offers concrete solutions to the curiosity, questions, and unspoken concerns of girls and boys going through puberty.
We will learn about the rapid changes that occur during puberty due to 'hormones' and 'genes', as well as basic and essential hygiene concepts.
You can also learn about your rights to your own body, how to respect and communicate closely with others, and how to lead your daily life independently without being swayed by peers or social media.
In this way, both books emphasize the balance of physical, mental, and social health to become a strong adult who knows how to affirm oneself and respect others.
Only then can we flexibly respond to any changes.
It will serve as a wise guide to adolescence for boys and girls, their parents, and educators who will seriously explore the questions of body and mind as they grow into adults.
Self-respect is being proud of yourself and knowing that you are a valuable person.
Self-esteem affects every other aspect of life, such as physical health and social relationships.
Good growth means respecting yourself and others.
Needless to say, no two people are the same.
Even though they are similar, their thoughts, feelings, and actions are all different.
Likewise, no body is the same.
And obviously, no two people grow up in the same way.
They say that respecting yourself and others along the way is proof of becoming a true adult.
