For Girls Only: A Heart-to-Heart Talk on Growing Up in BELLINGHAM, WA
** This is a two-part class, in BELLINGHAM, WA, on March 15 and March 22, 2016, 6:30 PM-8:30 PM.**
For over 25 years, Great Conversations has offered classes to preteens, teens and their families on puberty, sexuality, communication, decision-making and other important topics surrounding adolescents. This is the very first time we are coming to Bellingham, thanks to PeaceHealth as our sponsor!
We believe that parents are their children's prime sexuality resource and that sometimes families need and appreciate additional resources to initiate and maintain these important conversations about growing up.
Our down-to-earth approach combined with humor and clear factual information provided by health care experts is focused on preteen and teen developmental space while honoring and respecting family's traditions and beliefs.
We currently offer our classes in Seattle, Bellevue, Federal Way, Bainbridge, Tacoma, and Everett, Washington; in Palo Alto, California; and soon to start up in Portland, OR; and we are delighted to now bring the class back to Bellingham.
First Class Outline:
*Puberty changes (How they happen, variations of onset, duration, and changes, influences on puberty
*What Girls Experience in Puberty (Breast development, growth, skin changes, brain development, menstruation)
*Practical Ideas and Problem Solving (Pimples, nutrition, sleep, moods, personal care, periods)
*Staying Close Through Healthy Communication in Families
Second Class Outline:
*Social, emotional, and cognitive changes of puberty

Time is allowed for questions to be asked on any topic on the minds of the girls or the parents. The instructors respond to questions in the context of the pre-teens' development encouraging ongoing family conversations.
Classes are for preteens and a parent or other trusted adult. Standard registration fee covers both one preteen and one adult for both sessions. If a family wishes to bring an additional same-gender child in the 10-12 age group, the additional cost would be $40 - please see FAQ's but CONTACT US at info@greatconversations.com if you wish to register a second child.
