Editorial Reviews
Review
“Empowering and enlightening, this deeply researched and compassionate gynecological guide is a must for every family’s bookshelf. Part medical memoir and part menstrual manifesto, Chambers offers a path to honest conversations with kids about gynecological health while confronting and healing the silence and trauma so many of us carry with us.” ―
Nancy Redd, New York Times bestselling author of Body Drama and The Real Body Manual“
The Period and Puberty Parenting Revolution is not just a parenting book. It’s a call to action. With medical authority, cultural responsiveness, and unwavering compassion, Dr. Chambers makes clear that shame, silence, and misinformation around puberty and reproductive health are not benign. They are harmful, and they disproportionately affect communities that have long been underserved. This book insists that medically accurate, affirming conversations are a form of care, protection, and justice. At a time when access to trusted health information is increasingly under threat, this work is both urgent and essential. Every family and every child deserves guidance rooted in truth, dignity, and respect.” ― Uché Blackstock, MD, founder and CEO, Advancing Health Equity and New York Times bestselling author of Legacy“
The Period and Puberty Parenting Revolution is not just a book; it is an invitation for parents, especially fathers, to lean in rather than step back during one of the most important seasons of a child’s life. For far too long, conversations about puberty and menstruation have excluded men, leaving girls to navigate these moments without the full support of the people who love them most. Dr. Charis Chambers dismantles shame, fear, and misinformation with clarity, compassion, and medical expertise, while offering parents a roadmap rooted in honesty, trust, and emotional presence. This book reminds us that being a good father is not about having all the answers; it’s about showing up, listening deeply, and creating space for our daughters to feel safe, seen, and supported in their bodies. This is required reading for any parent committed to breaking generational silence, raising confident children, and redefining what it means to protect, nurture, and lead with love.” ― Dr. Brandon M.
