Adolescence is the period of transition between childhood and adulthood. Children who are
entering adolescence are going through many changes (physical, intellectual, personality and social
developmental). Adolescence begins at puberty, which now occurs earlier, on average, than in the past.
The end of adolescence is tied to social and emotional factors and can be somewhat ambiguous.There
are three main physical changes that come with adolescence: The growth spurt (an early sign of
maturation);Primary sex characteristics (changes in the organs directly related to reproduction);
Secondary sex characteristics (bodily signs of sexual maturity that do not directly involve reproductive
organs). Adolescent thinking is on a higher level than that of children. Children are only able to think
logically about the concrete, the here and now. Adolescents move beyond these limits and can think in
terms of what might be true, rather than just what they see is true. They are able to deal with
abstractions, test hypotheses and see infinite possibilities. Yet adolescents still often display egocentric
behaviors and attitudes. Adolescents are also developing socially and emotionally during this time. The
most important task of adolescence is the search for identity. (This is often a lifelong voyage, launched in
adolescence.) Along with the search for identity comes the struggle for independence.
