Grow Club

Confidence and body wisdom for growing up

Through separate, tailored classes for girls and boys aged 8-12, kids will get the knowledge and tools to feel prepared and excited for the changes ahead.

In this workshop, children can learn about their amazing bodies, the power of their voice, and how to show up for themselves and others.

Through interactive activities and open conversations, we will discuss basic anatomy, how their bodies grow and change, and how to take care of ourselves. We’ll also talk about body and self confidence, using your voice to advocate for your needs, being a good friend, and how awesome and unique we all are!

  • We will go through all things menstrual cycle in this lesson including the basic stages of a menstrual cycle, preparing for your first period, and expectations around what having a period is like. We will also explore basic menstrual products and make a period kit to take home.

  • To tie it all together, we will take time to reflect on how we talk to ourselves and the power of our voice. We will also practice how we use our voice with others and how we need to respect others’ voices too as we go thorough self-advocacy, consent, body autonomy, and boundaries.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yes! The aim of this class is to help kids understand and prepare for puberty and their period before it actually happens. This is so that they aren’t caught off guard, confused, or embarrassed. We hope to change the transition from scary to empowering and we want our children to feel excited about all the ways in which they are growing and changing!

  • It certainly can be! I don’t want anyone to hold confusion or shame around changes in their body and just because things may have already shifted doesn’t mean they automatically understand it all. We can help to demystify puberty so that girls and boys can move forward with confidence.

  • If you are feeling a little concerned about not being in the room with your child when they learn about these important topics, I get it because I am a parent who wants to be involved in things too!  However, it was important to me when designing this class that it is a safe space for just the girls or boys. I want them to be curious, lead the conversations, and have fun, and even if you are a safe person in their life, having more grown ups in the room will shift the dynamic. All that being said, I think  having more adults who can continue conversations with them outside the classroom and encourage their growth will only serve them better! I am always available for questions you have and will send you a copy of our workbook so that you have the information too.

  • This is so common and not a problem at all! One of our ground rules is that we respect ourselves, and this includes being able to pass if something doesn’t feel comfortable. We will also have an anonymous questions box if that feels more approachable. Ultimately, we hope that embarrassment will decrease throughout the class, but as we reiterate through the course, we all develop on different timelines, so if someone doesn’t feel ready to engage fully yet, I also trust that they will absorb what they are ready to and have an opening for a later date.

  • This is of utmost importance in a series like this! Starting from the very beginning we will be setting ground rules that everyone will agree to. I also hope to lead by example in speaking about puberty, the menstrual cycle, and ourselves with clarity and respect.

  • We want Grow Club to be a welcoming space for all kids, including those who identify as nonbinary or gender-diverse. You are more than welcome to reach out to discuss the class differences so that we can come up with a plan for the best fit together. In general, it may be helpful to learn about their specific anatomy, but I mostly care that your child feels welcome and supported in either class. I will also make sure to maintain more neutral and inclusive language as appropriate.

  • We always recommend verifying this with your own plan, but our company is set up to accept these types of payment cards.
