Partnering with parents to help children understand "growing up"
As a program designed to reinforce parents' role as primary educators, PUREly YOU! Growing God's Way is a set of tools, which helps parents teach their children about the beauty of sexuality and what to expect at the onset of puberty.
The materials are infused with the positive language of the Theology of the Body and though geared for approximately 5th grade, parents are encouraged to learn this enlightening vocabulary and apply it (when it becomes appropriate) as their children grow from infancy and on through the teen years.
PUREly YOU! recognizes:
- The delicacy of the subject matter.
- The uniqueness of each child, which requires them to be given individualized instruction on the delicate subjects.
- The lack of confidence that many parents experience. PUREly YOU! provides direct assistance and insight to parents so they may (re)claim their duty in a spirit of love & confidence.
- The necessity for children to receive formation in chastity (which is age appropriate).
