Mother/Daughter Program

For girls age 10-12

This program explores God’s special gift of human fertility and the beauty and wonder of growing up and becoming a woman. 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; the virtue of chastity; modesty; and a confidential question-and-answer segment.

The purpose of this program is to provide an atmosphere of love and learning in which to discuss the important topic of growing up, and to establish a foundation for continued communication between parent and child.  The presentations, which are given by Natural Family Planning volunteers, emphasize respect, understanding, and appreciation for God’s gifts of sexuality and fertility.  The program is sponsored by the Natural Family Planning Ministry of the Diocese of Kalamazoo.
