10. Adolescence is the period of transition between childhood and adulthood. It
includes some big changes—to the body, and to the way a young person relates
to the world.They usually start a year or two earlier in girls than boys, and it
can be normal for some changes to start as early as age 8 for females and age
9 for males. Many girls may start their period at around age 12, on average 2-3
years after the onset of breast development.
The many physical, sexual, cognitive, social, and emotional changes that
happen during this time can bring anticipation and anxiety for both children and
their families. Understanding what to expect at different stages can promote
healthy development throughout adolescence and into early adulthood.

15. Jean Piaget Educational Implication of
Adolescence
There are four main teaching implications drawn from Piaget's theory (Slavin,
2005):
1. A focus on the process of children's thinking, not just its products.
2.Recognition of the crucial role of children's self-initiated, active involvement
in learning activities.
3. A deemphasis on practices aimed at making children adult like in their
thinking.
4. Acceptance of individual differences in developmental progress.
