YWCA Parent Awareness Presents Girl Talk

Girl Talk: What Every Girl Needs To Know About Puperty 

Girls approaching puberty and their caregivers are invited to join Diane Frankel-Gramelis from Yale School of Public Health for a straightforward and entertaining discussion about the physical and emotional changes to expect during puberty This is not a sex talk. It’s a starting point for further discussions about a girl’s changing body.

Note: This program is intended for caregivers to attend with girls who are beginning to show signs of puberty (approx ages 10-12).

Only parents know if their child is ready for this candid talk, which includes visuals and covers topics such as: BO—what’s that smell?; Breast buds and development-what are we training with a bra anyway?; What exactly do I look like down there?; What about discharge? What’s that in my underwear?; and basic anatomy and periods.
