As a child grows and develops there are a number of different factors that will affect them and how they grow. This includes not just physical growth but emotional and psychological growth as well.…
Adolescences tend to do whatever is fun or gives them that “neural buzz.” This is another topic in the article I found interesting. I agree with the fact that when we are younger we strive to get that “neural buzz” feeling. Teenagers tend to take more risk, such as: staying out past curfew, going to a party, sneaking out, or even speeding. I think it’s safe to say most of us have done these things. I have experienced all of these, sometimes I have been caught and other times I have gotten away with it. Though we know it’s the wrong thing to do, we still do it. Our brains aren’t fully matured yet so we tend to take risky chances more often. I agree that the reason teens take more risk is because they tend to keep focus on the prize instead of considering the consequences.…

There is no doubt that growth is a complicated and long process we experience the rest of our lives. For a child, especially in “middle” stage, it can be an opportunity to exaggerate or minimize, with great imagination, emotional and sensitive…
With teenagers things get a little harder. They are torn between being a child and a young adult. You want to be sure they are not doing things they shouldn’t, but you don’t want to pry into their lives too much. They are trying to be independent from you, and do and make their own decisions. Parents of teenagers in our society must learn to listen to what their offspring are saying, especially what they are saying to one another (Stern, Larosa pg.39).…
Adolescence 12-19- Physical development during these ages is very different to each child. Boys will start to begin puberty whereas many girls already have periods and breast growth. Heights and strengths are different in both genders. Boys body shapes will change as their muscles grow and they develop body hair, and will continue to grow until their mid twenties. Boys also tend to be taller than girls. As they approach their late teens they are now young adults.…
Puberty can be a confusing time for a child, with all the different things happening to their body they may be confused as to why this is happening, and feel like there is something wrong. As an adult you c sit them down and talk to them about what is happening to them and reassure them that it is normal and all a part of growing up, and help them understand what else to expect over the years to come to put their mind at ease and make them feel more comfortable with the changes happening to their body.…
Young people are considered as adult, although many girls may be physically matured at this stage, the boys will continue to grow until their mid 20s…
Research the stages of development a child/young person may pass through within the age ranges:…
between 12 to 16 years of age. During the rapid growth in height adolescence reach maturity in which skeletal maturity and puberty are obtained (Bukatko, 2008). Skeletal maturity is determined by the ossification of cartilage to boney tissue. The completion of this process determines the adolescent has reached skeletal maturity (Bukatko, 2008). Sexual maturation during adolescence or puberty is the period of development in which the girl or boy goes through physical change and experience physical changes in which fertility is supported. These change for girls include, menstruation, the development of breast and body hair. For boys these changes include the change in voice, development of body hair, enlargement of testes and the first ejaculation (American Psychological Association, 2002).…
Juveniles makes bad decision but it doesn’t necessarily mean they’re all bad, majority of them steal or choose a bad path. Everybody makes mistakes but doesn’t mean they all should get a punishment that makes them suffer for the rest of their life. Researches say “among them the discovery of striking changes taking place during the teen years. These findings have…
Young people will also see many physical developments changing the appearance of their bodies. Everyone’s rate of growth is different. During adolescence, coordination and strength increase greatly and by age 19 or 20 the adolescent has full adult motor capacities.…
That is why most teens make many mistakes because they don't think of the consequences that may occur after they do this and just decide to go along with it , and that nothing may happen. David Hudson Jr says, “Many juveniles are less culpable, less mature, and less responsible than adult”. It may be true that many juveniles aren't as mature than adults but they are on the verge of becoming adults and should know what is wrong and what is right, and knowing the consequences that may happen after. Juveniles struggle to define who they really are and go through tough times and dont give teens many support. Another quote of David Hudson Jr says that, “It would be misguided to equate the failing minor with those of adults” That may be true but if a teen does the same crime that an adult did both should be given equal trial for the same crime.…
Many people believe that teenagers are not as mature as adults, and that is because they do not have a fully-developed…
Dealing with conflicts with children can be challenging. Young children get very emotional and are often crying. Especially children in Infants years, the smallest thing can cause a disagreement, usually in the playground over toys. I find the best way to deal with conflicts is to be calm and get each child to explain what happened, this shows you are not taking sides and you are listening to both, explain the difference in right and wrong. Try to make them understand if they were put in the same position, how they would feel and get them to apologise. Also, younger children, especially those who may be an only child find it harder to share. This is another issue affecting disagreements in this age group. For example, during art class, sharing colours, some children don’t have the patience to wait for their turn; this causes little conflicts amongst children. So I try to explain to them that they should be patient, be considerate of others and wait for their turn.…
