Adolescence is a crucial period in a person’s life, as it is a transition phase from a child to an adult. From ages 10 to 19, a child goes through this formative stage in their developmental growth in terms of physical, emotional, psychological and social changes. They are exploring who they are and how they fit into the world around them. Adolescence can be broken into three stages called early adolescence, middle adolescence and late adolescence, where the characteristics of each stage significantly differs from each other. This tumultuous period can be difficult to navigate for both parents and children depending on their circumstances. For General Parenting Related Concern Please click here to know more.
