Sasha is fourteen years old and has just started to experience the physical changes of puberty. She is relieved that her body has now started to change. Some of her classmates had teased her saying she ’looked like a boy’. This upset her and she had started to think that she wasn’t as feminine as other girls her age. No-one at home has spoken to Sasha about puberty. She feels unable to talk to her mother who is always busy with her two younger brothers and is too embarrassed to talk to her father about this.

She is thinking about talking to the school nurse whom she likes and trusts.

Alfred is 73 years old. He used to have a stressful job in the casualty department of the local hospital. He was glad to retire as he found the job exhausting in his last few years.

Since he has retired he has enjoyed doing the garden and doing improvements on his home. In the winter, he and his wife have taken French lessons as they enjoy taking their mobile home to Europe each summer. He never had time for these activities before.

However, Alfred has just had bad news. He has an incurable eye condition, which means he will eventually have to stop driving. His wife doesn’t drive.

Some milestones of development are:

• can roll over from back to front

• can smile

• can ride a two wheeled bike
