READY TO DIVE IN?

Let's see if this sounds familiar:

  You want to raise confident daughters who aren't ashamed of their bodies.

  You want to raise respectful sons who are deeply aware of their dignity and the dignity of others.

And you want it to be better than your experience - which won't be hard, since it was probably in a crowded gymna-cafe-torium with all of your friends making gross jokes, and maybe a bonus cringe-worthy tutorial from your mom.

But how exactly do you teach your daughters to look at cycles as good and healthy, especially if you've never really understood it all yourself?

How do you lay the foundation for your children to see their sexuality and future fertility as a beautiful gift from God while doing justice to the Church's teachings?

And when are you even supposed to start these conversations?!

the answer is incremental, age-appropriate body literacy.

Knowing how our bodies work is an inherent right of every child of God, regardless of their age or stage in life. Body literacy (knowing the "language of our bodies" as designed by God) encompasses so much more than just fertility: 

 Answering "is this normal?"
 Tracking energy levels and mood swings
Fixing actual problems, not symptoms

Plus, it makes it so much easier when they ARE ready to begin family planning to simply build off of what they already know.
