Busy Bodies: A Book About Puberty for You and Your Parents — HSE and the Crisis Pregnancy Agency (SPHE / RSE Programme)

Busy Bodies by Health Service Executive, published by Health Service Executive in 2007. 'Busy Bodies — A book about puberty for you and your parents', developed by the Health Promotion Department of the Health Service Executive South and funded by the Crisis Pregnancy Agency. The booklet forms part of the Relationships and Sexuality Education element of the Social, Personal and Health Education (SPHE) programme, and is used with fifth and sixth class pupils in Irish primary schools, normally alongside the accompanying Busy Bodies DVD, though it also works as a standalone guide for parents and children. It gives straightforward, illustrated information about the physical and emotional changes of puberty, looking after yourself, and basic information about reproduction, with sections addressed separately to children and to parents, closing with 'And Enjoy Growing Up!'. Produced with a national working group and an HSE South advisory group of health promotion officers, public health nurses, community dietitians and the National Parents' Council, and focus-tested in primary schools in Kerry and Cork. Design by Zest Creative Solutions; illustrations by Monster Animation. Copyright Health Service Executive South. 47 pages, illustrated in colour throughout, stapled in card wrappers. Booklet only — the DVD is not present.
