Puberty is a time of emotional change as well as physical change. With the insight of real kids going through puberty, a psychologist, and a pediatrician, this program helps students understand that their changing emotions may be confusing and intense, but are absolutely normal. Viewers examine the many elements of emotional growth in puberty: what causes mood swings; the role of hormones in how you feel; the need for extra sleep; how new responsibilities can create stress at home and at school; the impact of new friendships, including romantic crushes; the quest for independence from parents; and the desire to fit in with peers. The kids and doctors talk about how kids in puberty can learn to cope, communicate, and compromise to make a smooth transition to young adulthood.
