Our Changing Bodies

The last two Tuesdays have been very exciting, informative (and at times, a little embarrasing) for our Tween groups.


We were lucky to have an amazing guest speaker join us both weeks, Melanie Burston-Brown, who shared with us all kinds of important information about our changing bodies.


We started out by telling each other what our favourite body parts are, and Melanie noted that we love the parts of our bodies that everyone can see, but we get a little nervous when we think about the parts that we don't.

That led to a rousing discussion, often accompanied by our protective sunglasses, about puberty!

Even that word, puberty, made some of us nervous.

After a very open, frank, and often funny chat, it is safe to say that we all learned a lot. We feel much more comfortable with the things that are happening to our bodies and our minds in these Tween and upcoming teen years.

Just, please, do not call your future partner a "lamb chop"!

Thanks so much to Melanie and to all the girls for being so open to everything!
