As I personally take the time to
have a reflection over the
course     of     “Child     and
Adolescent
Development” I find myself
intrigued with the amount of
knowledge I gained during this
course
this semester. I wanted to take
the time to concentrate on three
specific areas in which I felt I
had
the most growth, but also came
as a challenge to me as well. It
is important when reflecting
over
a course that I look at what I
found to be challenging, as this
was an opportunity of growth
for
me individually. In this paper I
will review some of the main
topics that I found to be
interesting
but also resourceful for my
future aspiration not only as a
family life educator but also a
father
one day.
Adolescent years are the most
crucial years in one’s life. By
definition, adolescence is
“the developmental period of
transition from childhood to
adulthood; it involves
biological          cognitive,and
socioemotional changes.”
 Typically, the age this occurs is
13 years old to 19 years old. It
is also considered one of
the stages of increased stress for
parents because the child is
going through a difficult
time. The identity crisis
multiplies conflicts like crazy,
they       rebel       and     are
nonconforming.
Parents      have       tremendous
impacts on their child’s
adolescent years. These years
are a
big on parents as well because
they are concern with their kid’s
future, their entire life
including all the little things
like the friends their child is
associating themselves with and
if they are good or bad
influences on their child. It is a
time of lots of physical and
emotional changes where kids
really want to start
distinguishing themselves from
their mother and father who
only want what is best for
them and try to help in any way
possible.
Adolescence do not recognize
their parents as actually trying
to help them so it
sometimes causes them to push
back. This time is also where
psychological and social
changes occur like crazy.
Honestly, there is so much that
goes into adolescence. It
seems like just a couple years
out of a lifetime of living so
why should it even be such a
big deal. But because of all the
little things and big things that
are coming into play
during these years for them, it is
an extremely important and big
deal and should always
be taken seriously.
Adolescence can be looked at
by being broken down into two
stages or periods. Early
adolescence         and       late
adolescence. Early adolescence
is usually around ages ten to
thirteen, so roughly middle
school years, which begins with
the onset of puberty. Lat
