Adolescence is a time between being a child and being an adult. Over this time, there are many physical and psychological changes (eg. in relation to sexuality, physiology, emotions, moral perception, self-esteem, etc). Adolescence can be difficult both for the adolescent and for people interacting with them (family, friends, professionals etc). morally during the adolescent period. Adolescence and the idea of teenagers is a relatively new concept. Prior to education for all, people were adults or children. However, since the 1950s, the idea of a teenager has developed.
This course offers the opportunity to understand these changes and consider options for dealing with the adolescent, whether as a professional or even simply as a friend or parent.
