🗣️ Let’s Talk About... Body Talk! 🌱

Puberty can feel confusing — for kids and parents. That’s why we love the Body Talk classes offered by the right here in Lafayette! 💬✨

These age-appropriate, engaging classes are designed to help pre-teens (ages 8-12) better understand the changes happening in their bodies — building confidence, promoting healthy choices, and encouraging open communication.

👦 Boys’ Class: July 8 & Sept 24
👧 Girls’ Classes: July 19 & July 30
(Classes are held separately for boys and girls)

📍Register here: https://foundationforwellness.com/body-talk/

We highly recommend these classes for our patients approaching or going through puberty. It’s a great way to start important conversations — before they need to happen. 💚

Know someone with a pre-teen? Tag or share this with them — it’s a great resource!
