22
Puberty..
Isnt a single event but rather a gradual
process that lasts 3-6yrs so get used to
ityour body is changing!
23
Puberty..
Changes inside brain certain glands begin to
release larger amounts of hormones into your
blood stream.
24
Puberty..
Hormones play an important role in your bodies
development  
25
A HORMONE is

• ..a chemical made in one part of the body gt gtgtgt
• carried in the bloodstreamgtgtgtgt
• causing a change in another part of the body.
• HORMONES that cause sexual maturity are called
  sex hormones ex testosterone (male),
  progesterone (female)

26
The PITUITARY GLAND

• is responsible for physical growth
• It releases two hormones
• 1. HUMAN GROWTH HORMONE gt stimulates growth
• 2. FOLLICLE STIMULATING HORMONEgt development
  of reproductive system
• stimulates ovaries and testes to release
  hormones.

27
Changes for both sexes..
better dexterity
Brain size
change in body/face shape Hair texture changes
maturity Body odor

Foot size
28
SLEEP

• Teens frequently sleep longer.
• Research suggests
• that teens need more sleep
• allows their bodies grow and repair
• on average, teens need about 9 1/2 hours of sleep
  a night.

29
Awkwardness /Growth Spurts

• Teens may be more clumsy because of growth
  spurts.
• During puberty
• body parts don't all grow at the same rate
• leads to clumsiness as the teen tries to cope
  with limbs that seem to have grown overnight
• Teens can appear uncoordinated.

30
Weight concerns .. girls

• Teenage girls may become overly sensitive about
  their weight.
• This concern arises because of the rapid weight
  gain associated with puberty.

31
Weight concerns .. girls cont.

• 60of adolescent girls report that they are
  trying to lose weight.
• A small percentage of adolescent girls (1-3)
  become so obsessed with their weight that they
  develop severe eating disorders such as anorexia
  nervosa or bulimia.

32
Eating Disorders.male and female

• Anorexia self starvation
• Bulimia binge and purge
• Binge Eating bingeing on high calorie/comfort
  food
• Anorexic/Bulimic a combination

33
Developing at different rates!

• Teens may be concerned because they are not
  physically developing at the same rate as their
  peers.
• Teens may be more developed than their peers
  ("early-maturers") or less developed than their
  peers ("late-maturers").
• Being out of developmental "step" with peers is a
  concern to adolescents because most just want to
  fit in.

34
Early maturation

• Early maturation affects boys and girls
  differently.
• BOYS.
• Research suggests that early maturing boys tend
  to be more popular with peers and hold more
  leadership positions.

35
early maturingBoys continued.

• Adults often assume that early maturing boys are
  cognitively mature as well.
• This assumption can lead to false expectations
  about a young person's ability to take on
  increased responsibility.
• Risk taking

36
Early maturing girls

• Because of their physical appearance
• more likely to experience pressure to become
  involved in dating relationships with older boys
  before they are emotionally ready.

• depression
• eating disorders
• anxiety.

37
Awkward expressing feelings

  now wave to her on his way up the stairs.
• As they develop physically, teens are beginning
  to rethink their interactions with the opposite
  sex.
• Friendships
• Dating

38
Asking questions about sex

  the physical act, the emotional attachment
  will follow.

39

  occur..BUT,
• Puberty will eventually happen.

• To the uterus.
•  
• the lining of the uterus thickens and fills with
  extra blood and tissue to prepare for possible
  fertilization by sperm. (Progesterone)

• IF the egg is not fertilized, the blood-filled
  tissue comes apart and passes out of her body
  through the vagina menstruation

Your IQ

• I.Q. is NOT a test of KNOWLEDGE
• Average IQ is exactly an IQ of 100
• You are born with your I.Q. and can't raise it
  more than 5 points (various tests and having a
  good or bad day may vary the score, but Actual
  I.Q. remains constant).

65
Your IQ

• Two thirds of the population are within 15 points
  of average IQ (85-115)
• The bulk of society (95 of population) is
  between 70 IQ and 130 IQ
• Above 130 IQ or below 70 IQ is very rare

Stages of Intellectual Development

• Jean Piaget
• Research in brain development
• adults often expect children to think like adults
  when they are not yet capable of doing so
• Reasoning skills occur around the age of 15.

69
Piaget Information

• Children must move through these stages during
  their childhood
• Sensorimotor
• Preoperational
• Concrete operational
• Formal operational.

70

• Piaget states
• there are a specific set of criteria that must be
  met and mastered at each stage.
• In order to move from the first stage to the
  next, the child must master that specific set of
  criteria.

71
Period of Concrete Operations (7-11 years) 

• Evidence for organized, logical thought. 
• There is the ability to perform multiple
  classification tasks, order objects in a logical
  sequence, and comprehend the principle of
  conservation. 
• Capable of concrete problem-solving. 
• Example simple math34 7 and 7-4 3, etc.)

72
Period of Formal Operations(11-15 years)  

• Thought becomes more abstract, incorporating the
  principles of formal logic. 
• The ability to generate abstract propositions,
  multiple hypotheses and their possible outcomes
  is evident. 
• Thinking becomes less tied to concrete reality.
• Example algebra/ geometryFormal logical systems
  can be acquired.  Can handle proportions,
  algebraic manipulation, and other purely abstract
  processes.  If a b x then x a - b.  If
  ma/ca IQ 1.00 then Ma CA.

73
INTELLECTUALformal operations

• Abstract questions are asked
• Adolescents like to point out to adults their
  faults and shortcomings.
• Adolescents are very idealistic.

74
Intellectual

• The Growth of Knowledge
• https//www.youtube.com/watch?v8nz2dtv--ok

75
Intellectual

• Recent research suggests
• teens' brains are not completely developed
  until late in adolescence.
• connections between neurons affecting
  emotional, physical and mental abilities are
  incomplete.
• could explain why some teens seem to be
  inconsistent in controlling their emotions,
  impulses, and judgments.

76
Intellectual

• Cognitive Development
• What Is It?
• Most adults recognize that teens have better
  thinking skills than younger youth. These
  advances in thinking can be divided into several
  areas

77
Intellectual

• Developing advanced reasoning skills. Advanced
  reasoning skills include the ability to think
  about multiple options and possibilities. It
  includes a more logical thought process and the
  ability to think about things hypothetically. It
  involves asking and answering the question, "what
  if...?".

78
Intellectual

• Developing abstract thinking skills. Abstract
  thinking means thinking about things that cannot
  be seen, heard, or touched. Examples include
  things like faith, trust, beliefs and
  spirituality.

79
Intellectual

• Developing the ability to think about thinking in
  a process known as "meta-cognition."
  Meta-cognition allows individuals to think about
  how they feel and what they are thinking. It
  involves being able to think about how one is
  perceived by others. It can also be used to
  develop strategies, also known as mnemonic
  devices, for improving learning. Remembering the
  notes on the lines of a music staff (e, g, b, d,
  and f) through the phrase "every good boy does
  fine" is an example of such a mnemonic device.

80

• How Do These Changes Affect Teens?
• Teens demonstrate a heightened level of
  self-consciousness. Teens tend to believe that
  everyone is as concerned with their thoughts and
  behaviors as they are. This leads teens to
  believe that they have an "imaginary audience" of
  people who are always watching them.

81

• Teens tend to believe that no one else has ever
  experienced similar feelings and emotions. They
  may become overly dramatic in describing things
  that are upsetting to them. They may say things
  like "You'll never understand," or "My life is
  ruined!"

82

• Teens tend to exhibit the "it can't happen to me"
  syndrome also known as a "personal fable." This
  belief causes teens to take unnecessary risks
  like drinking and driving ("I won't crash this
  car"), having unprotected sex (I can't possibly
  get pregnant), or smoking (I can't possibly get
  cancer").

83

• Teens tend to become very cause-oriented. Their
  activism is related to the ability to think about
  abstract concepts. After reading about cruelty to
  animals a teen may become a vegetarian and a
  member of "People for the Ethical Treatment of
  Animals" (P.E.T.A.). Another teen may become
  active in "Green Peace" or "Save the Whales"
  campaigns.

84

• Teens tend to exhibit a "justice" orientation.
  They are quick to point out inconsistencies
  between adults' words and their actions. They
  have difficulty seeing shades of gray. They see
  little room for error.

The Tasks of adolescents..

• establish a stable identity
• become complete and productive adults
• develop a sense of themselves
• find their role in society
• awareness of self and influence others

102
8 Developmental Tasks for Adolescents

• adolescence is marked by a multitude of changes
  biological, physical, intellectual, and
  emotional.
• There are eight main developmental tasks that
  adolescents must complete in order to establish
  an identity.

103
1. Achieving new and more mature girls, in ones
age group.

• Adolescents learn through interacting with others
  in more adult ways.
• Physical maturity plays an important role in peer
  relations.
• Adolescents who mature at a slower or faster rate
  than others will be dropped from one peer group
  and generally will enter a peer group of similar
  maturity.
• For early maturing girls (girls whose bodies are
  fully developed at a young age),entering into a
  peer group of similar physical maturity can mean
  a greater likelihood of early sexual activity.
• parents need to place limits on adolescents
  outside activities.

104
2. Achieving a masculine or femininesocial role.

• Each adolescent develops his or her own
  definition of what it means to be male or female.
  
• Most adolescents conform to the sex roles of our
  cultural view of male (assertive) and female
  (passive) characteristics. Yet these roles have
  become more relaxed in the last 30 years.
• develop their masculine and feminine social
  roles.

105
3. Accepting ones physique.

• The time of the onset of puberty and the rate of
  body changes for adolescents vary greatly. How
  easily adolescents deal with these changes will
  partly depend on how closely their bodies match
  the well-defined stereotypes of the perfect
  body for young women and young men.

106
4. Achieving emotional independencefrom parents
and other adults.

• Children derive strength from internalizing their
  parents values and attitudes. Adolescents,
  however, must redefine their sources of personal
  strength and move toward self-reliance.
• This change is smoother if adolescents and
  parents can agree on some level of independence
  that increases over time. For example, parents
  and adolescents should set a curfew time. That
  curfew should be extended as the adolescent
  matures.

107
5. Preparing for marriage and familylife.

• Sexual maturation is the basis for this
  developmental task.
• Achievement of this developmental task is
  difficult because adolescents often confuse
  sexual feelings with genuine intimacy.
• Indeed, this developmental task is usually not
  achieved until late adolescence or young
  adulthood.

108
6. Preparing for an economic career.

• In American society, adolescents reach adult
  status when they are able to financially support
  themselves.
• This task has become more difficult now than in
  the past because the job market demands increased
  education and skills.
• Today, this developmental task is generally not
  achieved until late adolescence or young
  adulthood, after the individual completes his/her
  education and gains some entry-level work
  experience.

109
7. Acquiring a set of values and anethical
system as a guide to behaviordeveloping an
ideology.

• Adolescents gain the ability to think abstractly
  and to visualize possible situations.
• With these changes in thinking, the adolescent is
  able to develop his or her own set of values and
  beliefs.
• Discussing these newly forming ethical systems
  with parents and other adults can be a great help
  to adolescents in accomplishing this
• developmental task.
• In addition, parents may want to provide
  adolescents with hypothetical situations that
  challenge their emerging values, to help the
  adolescents evaluate the strength and
  appropriateness of those values.

110
8. Desiring and achieving sociallyresponsible
behavior.

• The family is where children learn to define
  themselves and their world.
• Adolescents must learn to define themselves and
  their world in the context of their new social
  roles.
• Status within the community beyond that of family
  is an important achievement for older adolescents
  and young adults.
• Adolescents and young adults become members of
  the larger community through financial and
  emotional independence from parents, which in
  turn teaches them the value of socially
  responsible behavior.

111
In summary

• The many developmental tasks facing adolescents
  are challenging, but they are achievable.
• Adolescents are getting their first taste of
  independence, yet they are not, and do not want
  to be, totally independent.
