Welcome Fourthies!
Growing Up Healthy Class is an introduction to Family Life and Puberty. You are going to learn about the changes that happen in the female body during puberty, and about how to live a healthy and happy life during this time of rapid growth and development in your life.
Here a few topics we’ll cover over the next several weeks:
- Skin care, healthy food choices, types of bras, puberty…
Some of these topics may seem like a big deal to you now, and that’s ok! There are many big changes that happen during puberty, but keep in mind that these changes happen over several years, not overnight. It’s best to be prepared and understand what’s happening to our bodies as we grow up.
So what is this big word called puberty?
- Puberty is a phase of life when a person grows from a child into an adult. It is a time of rapid growth and development in a child’s body and mind.
During our class time together, we will learn about growing up healthy during puberty and what to expect as these changes begin. Our class will be a safe and nurturing place to share our questions and explore these topics without judgment of one another.
Let’s begin!
