Body Basics for Girls is taught by Lauren Barlew, Women's Health Nurse Practitioner and Owner of Lotus Center for Women.
This class is best fit for girls before they enter puberty, but can also serve to catch up their knowledge if they have already begun going through puberty. Every girl is different, but girls generally begin puberty between ages 8 and 13. You know your girl best as to determining if her age is appropriate to take the class--- but if you have questions, please don't hesitate to ask us!
Topics covered will include:
Introduction to your body and it's parts
Discussion about how girls' bodies are different than boys' bodies
How our bodies change with puberty
Proper hygiene and nutrition
What is a "period"?
Rules and respect for your body
Emotional changes
Classes are small and we encourage discussion and questions. We look forward to helping you and your girl understand their changing bodies in a supportive and educational environment!
Tickets are priced as a girl/mom (or caregiver) pair.
Please do not hesitate to reach out with specific questions prior to class.
