Knowledge is Girl Power! :)

The Diocese of Palm Beach is providing mother-daughter classes for girls starting puberty and their mothers, in order to teach the girls in depth about what is about to become a fact of their adult lives. They will be learning the signs of ovulation and menstruation taught to married couples who use NFP methods (Sympto-Thermal, Billings, etc.). All I can say is, it's about time. This kind of knowledge will help the whole process to be less mysterious, less embarrassing, and less intimidating to those young ladies to whom it is new. Other dioceses, and even secular programs should take note of this.

Update: Here is the flyer and registration form. It is in .pdf format, so you'll need acrobat reader.

Here is a description of the content:
Topics include: the changes in a young woman’s body as it prepares for motherhood; the onset of ovulation and subsequent menstrual periods; the functions of the female reproductive system; the sacredness of human life; and the virtue of chastity. The programs will include a question and answer segment. Healthy dating relationships with a strong emphasis on chastity and reverence for our sexuality are also discussed with the older girls. The older girls’ program is an extension of the younger program. It is good to come to both at the age appropriate time for each girl.
