This week we'll start taking a look at some of the changes and challenges of the early years in adolescence. Adolescence is a unique period of time in our lives that takes place before adulthood. sixth grade students are in the middle of their early adolescence, which includes approximately the ages of 10 to 14.
Kids can expect changes in their physical, intellectual, social, and emotional areas, as they develop. feeling surprised, embarrassed, excited, or confused about these changes is absolutelly normal.
The purpose of the lesson is to make kids understand these changes they're going through, in order for them to be able to use this information to help them in school, with friends, and at home. Another maing goal of the lesson is to help kids clarify doubts and concerns they might have about this important phase of life.
This is the time for parents to be more vigilant of their children and "be there" for them. Here's a video that illustrates this idea.
