You, Your Body, and Puberty DVD

Grades 5-9.

Join four friends as they begin to observe and understand puberty. These boys and girls notice changes in themselves and each other - physical changes, emotional changes, and changes in how they react to one another. This program presents a gentle, curriculum-based introduction to puberty. Viewers will learn what is normal for boys and girls at puberty: the biological facts of physical maturation, the timeline for growth for both sexes, the normal feelings of self-consciousness, the need for good personal hygiene, why mood swings happen, and preparation of the body for human sexuality and reproduction (including a discussion of abstinence). Includes teacher’s resource book and student handouts. 20 minutes. Copyright 2005.
