Healthy Chats for Girls Agenda
Introduction
Our instructors introduce themselves, overview the format of the class, and give any other necessary announcements. There will be an ice break activity to participate in.
Part I
Consists of an approximate 30 minute slide presentation on the stages of puberty. These are:
These concepts are presented in a fun
Sensitive manner that stresses the normal process of growth and development that girls experience. There is also a brief, age-appropriate review about the facts of life, “the birds and the bees.
The basic information at this age includes:
1. How do babies get in? / What is Sex?
We will NOT be reviewing where babies come from (SEX) unless specifically asked by the on-line group. All mothers must be in agreement if they want the instructor to provide this explanation. To help them decide, the registrants will receive beforehand a copy of the e-book “The Birds and the Bees with Ease!” by Dr. de Freitas which has a review of how to explain these concepts to young children and tweens. Please review this on your own prior to the on-line seminar.
2. How to they get out?
Prior to a snack break, mothers and daughters have the opportunity to anonymously write questions and hand them in on the provided cards. These cards are collected and reviewed during the second half of the workshop. Moms are also asked to complete an inspirational sentence for their daughters to be read back at the end of the seminar by the instructor.
During the break, the instructor will gather with the mothers and review whether or not to continue the story in part 2 of the seminar as it pertains to:
Part II
In addition to addressing questions placed in the question box, the group is encouraged to participate by contributing personal anecdotes, etc. One of the goals of the seminar is to show these young girls that their mothers are their best resource. During this half of the presentation, the group is shown different sanitary products (no specific affiliations to any company), how to use and dispose of them, etc.
If the mothers have agreed upon it, the instructor will conclude the seminar with the story of conception (what is sex.)

Dear Antoinette
I can’t thank you enough for the seminar yesterday afternoon for Nicole and me. It was a very special afternoon and a very special topic that you explained just perfectly. You made the “subject” easy for the girls to understand while taking the awkwardness out of it. It is a day Nicole and I will treasure forever.
Sincerely, Carey
Dr. de Freitas presented her Mother-Daughter seminar to our 5th grade Girl Scout troop at one of our homes. I believe the comfortable environment and the age and maturity of the girls helped us to have a productive and meaningful presentation. Dr. de Freitas has very kind and understanding nature, which was very helpful when being presented material which was very sensitive to most of our girls.
