''Living and Growing'' is a long-running BBC educational series covering growth and reproduction. The series was first screen in the 1970s with its focus on health and human sexual development. It has since diversified and now covers all aspects of growth in both plants and animals. The name is also shared by a VHS and DVD set published by Channel 4 that focuses on Sexual Education for 5–13 year olds. Its full name is All About Us: Living and Growing but it is usually referred to by its short name of ''Living and Growing''. It covers how babies are made, how babies are born and Puberty. The programmes were put into units 1, 2, 3 and 4. The first three unit programme includes gently introducing sex education to younger children, through puberty and birth, to media images, same-sex relationships and teenage pregnancy. The fourth unit covers puberty and body image in more detail with a focus on maintaining a healthy mind and body Unit 1 - Age 5-7 Differences | How did I get here? | Growing up Unit 2 - Age 7-9 Changes | How babies are made | How babies are born Unit 3 - Age 9-11 Girl talk | Boy talk | Let's talk about sex Unit 4 - Age 11-13 Puberty | Body image | Making the right choices As of July 7, 2012, the DVDs were removed from the Channel 4 product catalogue as a result of the Government’s announcement that the PSHE curriculum is under review. The Alternative version, featuring the first three units, was released in 2013 as the review had not taken place.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://shop.channel4learning.com/?page=shop&pid=26651 )〕 In the Alternative version Girl Talk and Boy Talk were moved to Unit 2 which now focuses mainly on puberty. How babies are made and How babies are born took their place in Unit 3 and the Let's talk about sex episode was dropped. ==Controversy== The program has come under scrutiny by parents because of its graphic depictions of sexual intercourse and foreplay in Unit 2, in which, among other scenes, it "shows a naked cartoon couple pillow fighting before having sexual intercourse in several positions, as a narrator describes sex and its physical changes as “fun” and 'very exciting.'"〔Gilbert, Kathleen (2011-07-08) (Graphic sex-ed program for kids can stay in compulsory science classes: UK official ), ''Lifesitenews.com''〕 Although the Alternative version removed some of more explicit content concerns have still been expressed and it has been noted that the worksheets remain unchanged and the original DVDs were not recalled.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.spuc.org.uk/campaigns/safeatschool/livingandgrowingalternative )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Living and Growing」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
