Parents must remain extremely vigilant during this period of their children's lives. Adults can be of great help to their children if they explain and convey the meaning of the changes their bodies and minds undergo. Certain well-established principles of child growth must be taken into account: the first and fundamental principle is that each child is a unique individual whose growth and development will be different from that of others. Second, it is necessary to be aware that a happy childhood is the sum of many factors, including the presence of love and respect. Finally, we must discard the idea of comparing the growth of the child with an ideal of development correct for his age; The most important indicator that you are being well educated is how you feel if you live your stages in full.
All children go through phases of behavior problems that worry their parents. The majority is not serious and is resolved over time. However, some children may need special sensitivity and attention from adults. Parents should know that in a stage of great physical and psychological transformations, the problems considered behavioral are often reactions to the challenges they face for the first time.
The age of awakening from puberty is key. It varies between 10 or 11 years for girls, and 12 years for boys. In addition to growing more quickly, children will notice certain changes in their body. For the girl, this will include the development of the breasts and the appearance of the menstrual period; for the child, the surprise of pubic hair.
