Growing Up with Confidence

Growing Up with Confidence is a 21-day online education program created by Ms. Gutierrez to help parents and young teens navigate the emotional and physical changes of growing up. This course encourages open conversations about puberty, body awareness, consent, and self-worth — all taught in an age-appropriate and empowering way. Families can choose between three learning tracks: one for parents, one for girls, and one for boys. Parents will learn how to confidently guide their children through sensitive topics like intimacy, emotions, and respect. Girls will explore their cycles, boundaries, and self-care, while boys will gain tools to understand their emotions, respect others, and develop healthy relationships. Each lesson combines honest education with compassion, encouraging families to build trust, communication, and emotional understanding. The goal is to raise young people who value themselves and respect others. Trigger Warning: This program discusses sensitive topics including puberty, consent, and sexual assault awareness, all presented in a gentle, culturally mindful way. Duration: 21 days (self-paced) | Format: Video lessons, reflection activities, and printable guides
