Health Education Counsultation for schools, churches, and community organizations
Puberty: The Wonder Years
by Wendy L. Sellers, RN, MA, CPC
Puberty Education Curriculum for students in upper elementary and early middle school
This curriculum contains 20 lessons that are organized into three clusters of lessons, called tiers. Each tier is designed to be a unit for students in one grade; thus, there are lessons for three consecutive years. However, because each community is unique, the lessons can be reorganized and taught as each school district chooses.
Puberty: The Wonder Years is designed for the school setting, but it also includes activities that involve parents and other family members with their children. It encourages children to talk with their parents about their family values. It develops health skills children need to behave in a manner that is consistent with those values:
- Communication
- Limit setting
- Refusal
- Getting help
- Making friends
- Analyzing media messages

Puberty: The Wonder Years was published March 2002 and revised in 2007. The next revision will be released late in 2009.
