Growing Seminars each year. So many of my parents have expressed how difficult it is to speak to their sons and daughters about puberty and growing up healthy. They are always afraid that they didn't cover everything. Both seminars cover everything and anything that preteens want to know and need to know about their changing bodies. They even cover the embarrassing things that parents find difficult to speak about. This seminar will remain at PS 232 and will become a tradition!"

provide preteens (ages 8 – 14, Grades 5 - 7) with the information and tools necessary to successfully navigate the transition into adulthood. The programs focus on the physical and emotional changes that occur during puberty. Each seminar provides the facts necessary to foster responsible growth in both knowledge and confidence in the preteen girl. The courses also provide preteens with the essential information to initiate a dialogue with a parent or a trusted adult when necessary. Information is presented in a supportive non-threatening environment utilizing language appropriate to the child's age and cognitive level. |
puberty is all about change. Change causes anxiety and stress and that's especially true for children experiencing puberty. Our research shows that teaching children about puberty reduces stress and anxiety and promotes self-esteem. Anxiety and stress contributes to decrease academic performance and absenteeism. “Educational research shows that school performance is as much a function of social and psychological experiences (Cavanagh, 2007)”. “The building of self-esteem can enhance student learning, skill development and improve self- care behavior (O’Dea, 2002).” When students who completed the Changing and Growing Seminar were asked on an evaluation “Do you feel more confident in dealing with the changes of puberty” 99% said yes! |
Course Objectives

Designed to be conducted in schools and academic settings, these animated seminars provide an in depth look at Puberty, including anatomy, stages of growth, menstruation (for girls), genital changes (for boys), behavioral issues and the social interaction.
Especially designed for after-school, camps, Scout Troops and community centers, the Workshops offer the same thorough information as the C&G Seminars but with less detail and graphics. They workshops include a slide show, hand-outs, demonstrations and Q&A.
