GREAT RIVERS AREA OPPORTUNITIES
| GROWING UP FEMALE - BECOMING A TEEN |
Ages:
 |
|
The speed and variety of patterns of pubertal growth are a
major source of anxiety for most adolescents. Girls
will look at: What is normal? What is usual?
What can I expect and when?...regarding the physical and
emotional changes of puberty. Workshops are separated
into 4th grade workshops and 5th grade workshops.
Typical 4th grade workshop: discusses emotional
and physical (proper body names are used) signs of puberty
for girls. There is a very short and basic discussion
on the physical signs of puberty for boys. There is an
extensive discussion of the menstrual cycle and hygiene
during the menstrual cycle.
Typical 5th grade workshop: discusses
emotional and physical (proper names of body parts are used)
signs of puberty for girls, as well as boys. There is
an extensive discussion of the menstrual cycle and hygiene
during the menstrual cycle.
Attendance at a specific program is not dependant upon
grade level; however, you and the parents of your girls
should look at maturity levels of the girls when deciding on
a program level. It is encouraged for girls to bring a
trusted adult female relative or mentor to the workshop.
Since there is a high demand for
this program and many troops have to be placed on waiting
lists it is important that you give an accurate count for
your girls attending. If any girls cannot attend – you must
notify the Girl Scout Center at least two weeks prior to the
workshop. |
