EAU CLAIRE, Wis. –– Luther Midelfort will offer its annual “Growing Up: What’s Happening to My Body?” classes for boys and girls, ages 10 to 13.
Going through puberty is a lot easier when children know what to expect. In separate classes, boys and girls and their parents learn about the natural process of growing up. The programs include a video about changes in males and females, a discussion of puberty-related events and the opportunity to ask questions in a relaxed setting.
Participants are encouraged to arrive at 6:45 p.m. to help themselves to an ice cream sundae bar. Classes begin at 7 p.m. The cost is $5 per child and covers the cost of class materials and refreshments.
