During puberty stage, there are changes that occur in the body of a child. ADOLESCENCE The transition period between childhood and early adulthood is quite difficult. This is the most crucial stage because this is the time when teens start defining themselves. Remember, however, that each adolescent’s experiences, individual changes, and growth vary. DEVELOPMENTAL TASKS OF ADOLESCENCE A developmental task is a task that arises at or about a certain period in life, unsuccessful achievement of which leads to inability to perform tasks associated with the next period or stage in life. DEVELOPMENTAL TASK NATURE OF TASK To learn to look upon girls as women and boys as men; to 1.

PHYSICAL TRANSFORMATION probably the most obvious changes are physical; the teenager is literally transforming from a child to an adult physically, a transformation that is disorienting to both the teenager and everyone around him/her. 2. SEXUAL DEVELOPMENT the teenage years witness the emergence of sexuality, with all of its hormonal changes, all of its ups and downs and all of its emotional complications. 3. SEPARATION FROM PARENTS the teenager is on a crash course of how to live life with primary dependence on him/herself rather than being guided, taught and supported by parents. 4. IDENTITY VS ROLE CONFUSION a stage characterized by asking "Who am I," and learning more about your own goals, values, and beliefs.  5. SOCIAL ISSUES with growing adulthood comes the challenge of learning what groups and communities a person wants to be part of and how those groups and communities impact their own sense of individuality.  6. GROWING RESPONSIBILITY a substantial challenge for any teenager is learning to bear the personal responsibility of living a healthy, productive, compassionate and caring adult life.  7. TRUE SELF VS. FALSE SELF the teenager, in individuating from his/her family, begins to learn who he/she truly is and how that true self relates to ways they may have pretended to be.  8. PURPOSE the teenager is struggling mightily with what constitutes purpose and meaning in their lives and how real and practical those are.  9. FAITH VS CYNICISM the teenager is also beginning to deal with what we would broadly call spirituality, whether to have faith or not, whether to engage in cynicism or push through that.  Evaluating One’s Development Through the Help of Others Influential People in My Life People normally look up to influential personalities who have shown greatness in terms of leadership, intelligence, creativity, talents, and charisma. They usually listen to their strong belief system that brings so much inspiration and positive energy to other’s life. PARENTS SIBLINGS FRIENDS TEACHERS COMMUNITY LEADERS
