    "I am so thrilled that my students are able to experience the Changing& 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!"

    The Changing & Growing Program is a 3-Phase Life Skills seminar series that provides adolescents with appropriate information relating to
    the physical, emotional and social changes associated with puberty.
    Facts and Stats
    Change is always hard and 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!
