Puberty
Puberty
Puberty is the transitional period from childhood to adolescence, marked by significant physical and psychological changes.
Details
Puberty is a time when hormonal changes bring about physical maturation alongside psychological and social shifts.
Key features include adapting to bodily changes, emotional ups and downs, a growing desire for independence from parents, and increasing importance of peer relationships. From a brain development perspective, the prefrontal cortex is not yet fully developed, which can make emotional regulation and judgment less reliable.
Conflicts with parents are a natural part of the independence process. Navigating this period wisely can lead to growth into a more mature sense of self.
