Rites of Passage helps you tackle the conversations you’ve been avoiding — and come out feeling confident.

Facing your discomfort today means your tween won’t face theirs alone tomorrow.

Rites of Passage doesn't just prepare your tween for adolescence—it transforms how your family communicates about growing up, creating the foundation for open dialogue that will serve you through the teenage years and beyond.

UPDATED FORMAT:

THE LONG-TERM IMPACT OF RITES OF PASSAGE:

The true power of Rites of Passage lies in what happens after the class ends.

By creating strong communication patterns now, you become their safe source for questions and concerns throughout adolescence—rather than outside influences taking that role.

This isn't just about surviving puberty—it's about thriving through it together.

⏲️ TIMING IS EVERYTHING.

This class acknowledges a crucial reality: children who receive accurate, loving information about reproduction from their parents are far more likely to make healthy choices about relationships and sexuality throughout their lives.

When you wait too long, misinformation and shame have already begun to take root.

🐥 Prevent Misinformation & Build Lifelong Healthy Choices

Without your guidance, curious tweens will seek answers elsewhere. The internet provides unlimited access to information that's often inaccurate, inappropriate, or harmful for developing minds. This class ensures the first information they receive is medically accurate, values-based, and delivered with love.
