Sex and puberty education is very important for adolescents but is approached in different ways across societies and cultures.
One fear that parents and guardians have is that they may not be teaching sex and puberty education in the “correct” way. A common tendency is to let a teacher at a school explain this complex stage in a young person’s life.
An NGO called Grow and Know has published books on puberty and sex that can be read by young people, or used in schools.
The Grow and Know team aims to develop books that are grounded in the local social, cultural, and economic context, and that capture the real perspectives of young people growing up today. Young peoples’ stories are incorporated alongside factual and appropriate guidance on the physiological and emotional changes of puberty and maturation. Recognizing the importance of authenticity in pictures and language, we contract with high quality local illustrators, translators, and publishers within each country of activity.
