6th Grade Guy Stuff

Guy Stuff is an approved Irvine Board of Education program addressing boys’ puberty and will be hosted by the Canyon View PTA for 6^th Grade boys and their adult role model on Thursday, October 25^th from 6:00-8:00PM in the MPR.  This program focuses on facts and feelings about the onset of puberty.

Studies have shown that parents and their children benefit from this type of experience because:

• It is important for children to feel comfortable asking adults their questions about puberty.
• It sends the message that adults are valuable resources for young adolescents.
• The presented facts about puberty will promote discussion.
• Young boys who are prepared for the changes they are about to experience in puberty will have decreased fears, reduced stress, and reassurance that puberty is a normal process.
• It sends the message to your child that this is an important time in their life when many changes will occur and that you are showing your support.

The goal of this program is to establish a trusted communication relationship between the boy and the significant male figure in his life. Thus, to participate in this program, the boy must bring a significant male figure in his life.   This evening’s speaker, Craig Cooper, has many years of experience leading Guy Stuff and is approved by the IUSD Health Advisory Committee and School Board. Canyon View PTA will provide a pizza dinner.
