Every mother wants to
be sure her daughter is prepared for all the changes that come with
growing up, her first period, and that her child knows she is
“available and askable” about all issues.
To help smooth this
transition into adolescence, the Women’s Resource Center offers
“Growing Up & Liking It”,
a free workshop designed for both mothers and their daughters ages 9
- 12. The workshop provides information
about the changes that come with puberty and the beginning of
menstruation, as well as other physical, emotional, and sexuality
issues age appropriate for preteens.
The
workshop fosters family communication,
encourages children to seek sexuality information from their
parents, and enables them to learn about, appreciate, and respect
their bodies.
Pre-registration is required.
To reserve your space, simply call the WRC at 227-6900 or email us
at
womensalamance@bellsouth.net
to sign up. Due to increased demand and an
increase in no-shows, a $10 deposit will be required when making
reservations. This deposit will be refunded to attendees at
the reserved session or if you cancel your reservation at least 48
hours before the scheduled date. Sessions fill
up quickly, so don’t delay reserving your spot.
In order to provide this program to more
girls when it is appropriate for their own personal development, we
will take advance registration for future sessions if this date does
not fit your schedule.
