Yes! The aim of this class is to help girls 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 girls to feel excited about all the ways in which they are growing and changing!

It certainly can be! I don’t want any girl 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 and the menstrual cycle so that girls 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. 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 will hold an optional zoom meeting ahead of the class for caregivers in order to address any questions or concerns and give you a sense of what exactly we will be doing in the class. Plus, I will provide summary handouts of the content, and will always be available for questions or concerns.

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