Age appropriate, fun program designed to teach girls about puberty

Mothers and their daughters are invited to a special event, sponsored by The Women’s Center at CoxHealth, designed to help girls ages 10-13 make the transition to adolescence with confidence.

“What’s Happening to Me? A Mother/Daughter Dialogue” will be held 11 a.m. – 1:30 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 13, in Foster Auditorium at Cox South, 3801 S. National Ave.

Nancy Bolduc, director of The Women’s Center, says, “The Women’s Center is committed to educating preteen and teenage girls about the issues affecting them. This discussion about sexuality and puberty is presented in an age-appropriate and sometimes humorous way.”

Presented by Robin Housley, RN, women’s health educator and experienced mother, the program includes chair massages and hand scrubs, followed by a healthy lunch and a relaxed, candid discussion on the changes puberty brings.

There is a $12 per person fee and advanced paid registration is requested. Please call 269-LADY for more information or to reserve your spot.
