    5th Grade: Early Stages of Puberty

    Early stages of puberty can begin at 8-9 years of age. Learning about their bodies and the changes occurring in early puberty can help kids understand that what they are going through is a normal part of growing up. The following resources can be helpful tools for families to use at home with their children. The Always Changing® Growing Up Program is based on national research and consultation with school nurses, health educators, parents and medical professionals. It has been a trusted resource for over 25 years and has been taught to millions of students nationwide. The content is provided as a free educational service to our schools by Procter & Gamble brands. Preview the resources in the links below:
