I remember the simple instructions I had at school, they were more than adequate. This goes way over the line, and parents there are hoping mad.
Newton is popular amongst young and old. Several 6-year-olds regard Newton as their favourite programme. Hence we conferred with professionals at the Institute of Psychology at NTNU (The Norwegian University of Science and Technology) to ensure that the series isn’t harmful to younger children. That aside, we acknowledge that some don’t want to see this subject matter, so each episode open with a regular warning, albeit delivered in a humorous way.
Don’t worry, they enquired from academia whether or not showing their explicit sex props and real props (people) to small kids will harm them.
Newton is a science programme for children and young people. The target group is from 8 to 12 years, that is to say children who have either entered puberty or are about to.
In the series about puberty we convey openly and frankly what happens to the body in the transition from child to adult. How the skeleton grows, why girls bleed, about spots and blushing and involuntary ejaculations. What happens to breasts and sexual organs, how the voice changes and how emotions are in turmoil. In short, how the human body grows and changes from child to adult in order to make babies.
The final episode deals with how conception happens. Breeding is the biological point of puberty, and thoughts on sex are part of puberty. With the aid of models, we show, as clinically and pragmatically as possible, how the sexual act plays out. We see this as a part of Newton’s mandate to inform children about this aspect of the human body and biology.
