"Billy Grows Up" is a short film about puberty designed to be watched by boys approaching puberty. It will help them understand the changes they will go through. It should be viewed with families and caregivers, who can be on hand to answer questions. This IHC commissioned film uses a family situation to help young men and boys understand what is happening to them during the puberty transition process. It provides basic information about the physical changes involved in this process, as well as discussion about hygiene, emotional issues and public and private behaviour associated with discovering your own body.
The family consists of Billy, who is 11, his Mum and Dad and brother Max. In the film we see Billy being helped by Dad initially who then gets Mum and Max to join in.
