Why this course

Support that makes the next step clearer.

For ages 10-14. This age-appropriate, non-graphic course uses plain language for body changes, mood intensity, sexual feelings and curiosity, body comparison, attraction, identity and health questions.

For parents and carers

When puberty questions are being answered by rumours, comparison or silence

Look for the pattern, not a label. This course may be a useful fit when several of these moments keep repeating.

  • Mood volume has increased and they need factual ways to understand it
  • They have questions about sexual feelings, attraction or identity but fear assumptions
  • They need to know which questions are private and which pain, change or contact needs adult help

Important: This course provides general, non-graphic education. It cannot assess symptoms; pain, worrying changes or unwanted contact should be discussed with a trusted adult and appropriate health or safeguarding professional.
