This book does not teach girls how to identify a fertile window and cannot be used for Natural Family Planning. In the Basic Guide, we use a fluid-only approach to learn about cycle patterns. In the Advanced Guide, the girls have the option to track with a sympto-thermal approach. They learn how to identify ovulation as a healthy sign.

I am a woman of faith, so the language that I use within the text reflects the deep appreciation I have for the dignity of our bodies. However, there is nothing in this text which is overtly religious. 

Yes! Pediatricians were consulted in the writing of this text, especially in the final section which discusses common cycle issues that teens face. Every effort has been made to ensure the medical accuracy of this text.

Cycle Prep is a video-based workshop for girls who have not yet started their period. It is geared specifically for ages 9-11. "Charting for Girls" is for girls who have already started their period and want to learn how to observe their cycles, and "read" the way their body communicates throughout those cycles. Instead of videos, "Charting" is based on a handbook which you go through at your own pace, and includes the videos only as supplemental information for deeper learning opportunities along the way.
