For Mothers and Daughters (ages 8-10)

Much more than just pimples and periods. An engaging 2½ hour class that covers the basic physical and emotional changes associated with the onset of puberty.

Our course helps create a sense of normalcy about this next stage of development. Puber-Tea creates a bond between parents and children, making the transition into adolescence much easier for both. Parents feel more comfortable and prepared for future conversations and develop a sense of connection with others experiencing the same thing.

Guy Talk

For Fathers and Sons (ages 9-10)

Much more than just pimples and getting taller. This 2½ hour course covers the basic physical and emotional changes that occur during puberty and helps to establish good hygiene habits.

The information helps parents and children feel more comfortable with these changes in a fun and engaging manner. Parents feel more prepared for future conversations, and children feel more comfortable approaching their parents.

Puber-Tween

For Parents & Tweens (ages 10-12)

A 2 ½ hour class for parents and tweens who have not taken any puberty classes in the past.

Puber-Tween is designed for older tweens to help them feel at ease with the physical and emotional changes they are currently experiencing. This class helps them understand that these changes are perfectly normal and that everyone goes through them.

Self-Esteem & Social Media

For Parents & Tweens (ages 10-12)

A 2 ½ hour interactive and informative course that addresses the issues of self-esteem, peer pressure & social media by generating an open dialogue between parents and tweens in a fun and engaging environment.

Young people today are facing pressures from peers and media (TV, print, or social media) that can take a toll on their self-esteem and self-worth. Parents need the tools to adequately deal with those external pressures and help create a strong internal foundation for their children now and in the future.

Where Babies Come From

A 2 ½ hour interactive and informative course that addresses reproduction in a clear and concise manner by generating an open dialogue between parents and tweens in a fun and engaging environment.

It’s normal for this age group to be curious about reproduction. Questions about how babies are made and the process of delivery tends to make parents uncomfortable, and Where Babies Come From helps ease that discomfort and provide age-appropriate answers. (The conversation regarding sexual intercourse is very brief and is only discussed within the context of a married couple preparing for a child.)

Rites of Passage

For Parents & Tweens (ages 10-12)

A four-session interactive series that addresses the challenging questions tweens face during puberty in a fun and engaging manner. Rites of Passage prepares tweens for adolescence by generating an open dialogue with their parents and helps them develop a sense of normalcy about the changes and challenges of puberty.

This series of classes give parents the foundation and necessary tools to continue open conversations with their children now and in the future. Open dialogues create strong bonds between parents and tweens.

The Bridge

Providing safe passage into the middle school years and beyond.

A parent-child-centric, two-session course that strengthens parent/teen communication. The topics covered will help both parents and teens adjust and succeed during the middle school years.
