Human Growth and Development

  • Human Growth and Development is about the process of growth beginning with pre-adolescence through adolescence. At the elementary and middle school levels, a program is presented to students in grades 4, 5, and 6 to provide them with a fact-based understanding of the changes in their physical development that is aligned to the California Health Education Standards (2008).

    By becoming familiar with this process, young people can better cope with normal physical and emotional changes. The program also emphasizes the importance of proper rest, nutrition and physical exercise while growing. Ultimately, this program aims to build a child’s self-esteem and healthy behaviors as they move into adolescence.
