Welcome to Healthy Chats
 

Healthy Chats was founded in 1993 by Dr. Chrystal de Freitas. Committed to providing parents with accurate, age-appropriate information to help them teach their children about healthy sexuality, the doctor’s own experiences as a pediatrician, author and mother of three led her to this mission.

Healthy Chats believes that health education is very much the responsibility of parents at home, regardless of what may or may not be covered in school at a later time. We assist parents in this process by providing a place for information and resources -- starting at an early age with “The Birds and the Bees with Ease!"^™ and continuing on to that important conversation about puberty and womanhood between mothers and their pre-teen daughters, ages 9-12. (Of course, boys go through puberty too. We are developing a similar seminar entitled "Healthy Chats for Boys" but are not yet offering it in our regular program schedule.)

For those moms and girls unable to attend our seminars, we will be releasing “My First Period Kit & DVD^™” in Summer 2008. This helpful tool includes a 99-minute DVD featuring the fun, informative Healthy Chats for Girls seminar for mothers to view with their daughters. Also included is the Bonus DVD Extra: The Birds and the Bees with Ease! Now mothers can address body changes, menstruation, birth and conception comfortably and comprehensively at home. “My First Period Kit & DVD^™” enables them to review accurate details and share age-appropriate essentials (and even some giggles) with their daughters, while setting a solid foundation for open chats as the girls seek answers to questions in the future.  More information to come.

Dr. de Freitas is available for in-home seminars as well as for online consultations with mothers and daughters via an annual online Healthy Chats subscription.

Health education begins at home… let us all have healthy chats with our children.
