Today’s episode will focus on Body Changes
Why do you think we choose this topic?
During puberty, our bodies transition from a child’s body to an adult’s body. This is also the time in life when boys’ and girls’ bodies become sexually mature, where you can make babies. During adolescents our bodies go through physical and emotional changes. It is important to understand that these changes are normal and they are all part of growing up.
After this episode, you will be able to:
1) Describe how maturity affects girls and boys, physically and emotionally
2) Understand that body changes, new feelings and sexual desire in adolescents are normal and healthy
3) Explain how teenage boys and girls can manage the bodily changes that happen as they grow
