SUMMARY:Mother-Daughter - Intro to Womanhood
DESCRIPTION:You and your 9-13 year-old daughter are invited to spend an evening with us!  We focus on helping girls understand their 4 main superpowers and how puberty relates to each of them. Those “super powers” are Ovulation\, Menstruation\, Gestation\, and Lactation. We spend most of our time in the Ovulation and Menstruation categories – explaining signs they are approaching\, the way they might feel during those phases of their cycles\, how to prepare for their first period\, exploring ways to contain the flow\, and what’s normal\, what’s not\, etc. \nWe also want to help them connect this season of puberty and all that comes with it to the future beauty of their design should they want to become mothers someday. Our hope is that in exploring the topics of pregnancy and breastfeeding\, it helps them develop a healthy respect for the functionality of their bodies so they can walk through their development more confidently. We’ll also start to explore the concept of SPICE in a way that helps them understand their changing feelings and how they are spiritual\, physical\, intellectual\, creative\, and emotional beings and can connect with those around them in these different categories. \nThe cost of this Mother-Daughter class is $25 and an additional $10 will be added per daughter (1 daughter = $25\, 2 daughters = $35\, etc.). Each daughter will receive a gift and folder of resources that will further the discussion and relationship you have with your daughter around this transition into womanhood. We hope this class serves both of you in fostering healthy conversations about the female body and its superpowers! \nRegister the Friday (November 14) prior to the event before 12:00 noon.  Thank you!
