Leader Resource 2, Twin Babies, is a catalyst for discussing similarities and differences between male and female bodies, for making a list of parts of the body, and for drawing in the journals. In Session I and Session 2, children learn about four areas of human sexual development in age-appropriate ways. The content and activities of these sessions focus on differences between males and females, the importance of appreciating one's own body, equity between and respect for each gender, and respect for all sexual orientations. Each part of the body has a correct name and a specific function or functions. A person's genitals, reproductive organs, and genes determine whether that person is male or female.
Males have a penis, scrotum, and testicles.
Females have a vulva, clitoris, vagina, uterus, and ovaries. Both males and females have parts of their bodies that feel good when touched. Body Image Individual bodies are different in size, shape, and color. The way a body looks is largely determined by a person's parents and grandparents. All bodies are equally special, unique, and beautiful.
