Put young minds at ease
The clips in this series deal with the physical, emotional and social changes that happen during puberty. The series emphasises to young people that puberty is just a natural stage in a person’s life, with no one ‘normal’ experience. Students will discover that everyone changes and develops at different times and in different ways.
Teach puberty your way
The series also encourages flexibility in teaching and learning, with the inclusion of several clips about physical changes (males, females, combination) to cater for co-educational and single sex classes.
Discover all 6 full-length episodes free to share with your students.
