Becoming You for Girls

A Christ-centered puberty guide for preteen boys, Becoming You for Boys helps readers understand body, emotional, and social changes with confidence, biblical wisdom, and a clear sense of their God-given identity. Becoming You for Girls is a Christ‑centered guidebook designed to help preteen girls understand, navigate, and grow through puberty—physically, emotionally, socially, and spiritually. Written in an accessible, warm, and encouraging tone, the book explains biological changes, emotional development, friendships, identity, safety, wisdom, technology, and faith, all while grounding each topic in biblical truth. Counselor Darby A. Strickland offers a trustworthy, gospel-shaped vision of growing up that goes beyond body changes to help children grow in wisdom, love, and godliness. Awkward or sensitive topics are handled with gentleness, dignity, and appropriate humor, helping girls feel safe, curious, and confident rather than embarrassed or afraid. Encouraging girls to embrace their identity in Christ and understand both what is happening and why God designed them this way, the book can be read independently or alongside parents, making it a valuable resource for fostering meaningful conversations about topics like personal safety and body image. An included appendix equips parents with conversation starters about physical and emotional changes, along with practical guidance for navigating even the most uncomfortable questions.
