A. THE NATURE OF ADOLESCENCE
As in development during childhood, genetic/biological and environnemental/social factor influence adolescent development.
During their childhood years of development, adolescents experienced thousands of hours of interactions with parents, peers, and teachers, but now they face dramatic biological changes, new experiences, and new developmental tasks.

11 – 13 YEARS OLD
Middle adolescence

4. Relationships with parents take a different form, moments with peers become more intimate, and dating occurs for the first time, as do sexual exploration and possibly intercourse.
The adolescent’s thoughts are more abstract and idealistic. Biological changes trigger a heightened interest in body image. Adolescence has both continuity and discontinuity with childhood.
PUBERTY
Puberty is not the same as adolescence. Puberty is a period of rapid physical maturation involving hormonal
and bodily changes that occurs primarily during early adolescence.
We know whether a young boy or girl is going through puberty, but pinpointing puberty’s beginning and end is difficult. Among
the most noticeable changes are signs of sexual maturation and increases in height
and weight.
