That butterflies come from caterpillars and they go through 4 stages in their lives. People go through similar stages.

IN THE EGG STAGE

Caterpillars are hatched from eggs.

Mothers keep their babies safe and warm.

IN THE CATERPILLAR STAGEThe caterpillar starts eating and crawling.

Babies drink milk to help them grow. Then they crawl and walk.

IN THE CHRYSALIS STAGE

The caterpillar struggles to change into a butterfly

As teens, we are also struggling to make changes.

IN THE ADULT STAGE

The caterpillar emerges and spreads its wings.
