Plum: Know Your Body Girl Talks

Students will learn about the physical, mental, emotional, and social changes to expect during their puberty years. They will also learn how to manage external factors that influence their decision-making; from culture and media to social trends. Students will also learn tools for troubleshooting growing pains unique to the landscape of today’s adolescent girl. 

I’m the author of the bestseller What’s Getting Into My Daughter which ranked number one in Teen Health and outranked American Girl health and body books for two weeks. I’m also a clinical researcher, adjunct professor of Child Growth and Cognitive Development, and recognized media expert of adolescent and women’s health and nutrition featured on CBS, NBC, ABC, Fox, eHealth Radio, The Brian Tracy Show, and other well-known media outlets. 

Students are strongly encouraged to complete the exercises in the Plum: Know Your Body Workbook. The purpose of the workbook is to guide students in deep exploration of their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors so they can create relevant action steps for themselves based on the principles discussed in each lesson. 

Students will complete fun self-growth activities each session and be asked to compare their understanding of topics before and after the lessons. 

50 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 0 - 1 hours per week outside of class.
