Health unit on Body Changes and Puberty

In the next couple of weeks Grade 6 will start a Health unit looking at Growth and Development and body changes associated with Puberty.

This is an essential Health topic treated respectfully with a Biblical view and clear information about the changes that our children will experience.

It may be useful to have a conversation with your child before this unit to help your child feel at ease.
Boys and girls together will be finding out about reproductive body parts and other body changes in puberty.

Here is a website we will use sometimes in class.

http://kidshealth.org/kid/grow/body_stuff/puberty.html#a_Time_to_Change

It contains clear and useful information for kids and teens.

It also has a section for parents:

Feel free to review the website and use it with your son or daughter.
We will not be looking at everything on Puberty in this website, but it is a useful resource for future information as well.
