The lesson “Physical and Emotional Changes” continues to teach children about self-acceptance as well as appreciating the differences in others, particularly through the process of growth and development. The children learn that God created living creatures to change as they grow into adulthood. Each child will name at least two positive aspects of the changes that happen as he or she grows older, as well as at least two ways he or she may feel unsure about the developmental changes he or she is likely to experience. The lesson includes guided instructions for the teacher, including preparation, a script, and suggested activities to facilitate further learning in a fun and interactive manner. This lesson is designed for children between 9-11 years, and is the 13th lesson in the 1st year Core Curriculum Set and part of the “Sexual Development” unit.
