whats the greatest concern
being away from peers
early adolescence 11-14 years
rapidly accelerating growth, reaches peak velocity, secondary sexual characteristics appear, peak of puberty (girls begin to increase in height earlier than boys. They develop breasts, growth of pubic hair and axillary hair, increased pigmentation of their genital skin, and widening of the hips, beginning of menstruation/ovulation; boys experience an increase in height later than girls, but still grow pubic hair and axillary hair. Viable sperm is present in the testes and the male experiences penile erections. Boys will also grow facial hair, develop a deeper voice, and can develop hair on the chest/other places on the body)
Developing new ways of thinking, especially abstractly. They have desires to be “normal” within their peer group and are rapidly seeking friendships to help them get through all of the changes of puberty and adolescence together. These kids are preoccupied with the pubertal body changes and are trying to figure out their role in their family, peer group, and the world. The relationships with parents haven’t changed much at this point because they are just beginning to develop boundaries of independence vs. dependence.
