Education on puberty for 10-14yrs old: Busy Bodies Programme 

The Busy Bodies Adolescent Development Programme is an educational resource designed to provide information on puberty to children aged between 10 and 14 years old. It consists of a booklet and accompanying video material that aim to help children understand the physical and emotional changes that occur during puberty. The programme provides accurate and age-appropriate information about puberty, reproductive basics, and self-care during adolescence.

The booklet can be used by parents, caregivers, and teachers to support discussions and provide information to children during the puberty journey. It offers supportive and useful content that addresses common questions and concerns that young people may have.
