When Dr. Chrystal de Freitas offered to sit in the classroom of a nervous male science teacher while he reviewed puberty with the girls in his class, rather than accepting the doctor’s moral support, he turned the task over to her. Dr. de Freitas, whose daughter was in that 1993 elementary school class, rose to the occasion—and has been talking to girls and their parents ever since!

Now, Dr. de Freitas can help your audience overcome their jitters with advice on how to comfortably and accurately discuss puberty, periods and sex with their kids.

This frank, friendly pediatrician will give your audience insights about:

• Physical and emotional changes accompanying puberty.

• How to prepare girls for first periods and menstruation.

• What information is age-appropriate.

• Setting a solid foundation for future talks.

Plus, Dr. de Freitas will
take audience questions!
