  1. Adolescence

  2. Adolescence • the transition period from childhood to adulthood, a period that brings sometimes tumultuous physical, social, and emotional changes.

  3. To be a kid • What does it mean to be a kid? • Socially • Psychologically • Emotionally

  4. Transition • The primary social tasks adolescents must accomplish. Put simply, there are four key tasks: • to stand out—to develop an identity and pursue autonomy, • to fit in—to find comfortable affiliations and gain acceptance from peers, • to measure up—to develop competence and find ways to achieve, and • to take hold—to make commitments to particular goals, activities, and beliefs.

  5. Growing Up Vs. Maturity

  6. Growing UP • A person “grows up” when he/she learns to take responsibility for his/her own actions and stops behaving as if the world revolves around him/her. Many people never truly grow up because they constantly blame others for everything “bad” that has happened in their lives or they expect everyone and everything in their world to conform to their point of view. • People who are grown up will deal with itandpay the price if they get caught breaking the law, even if it’s just a speeding ticket, while those who are not grown up will try to find any and every way to weasel out of it. • People who are grown up will give and don’t always expect to get, those who are not grown up will always ask “What’s in it for me?”

  7. Maturity • Maturity is the ability to do a job whether you are supervised or not; finish a job once it is started; carry money without spending it and be able to bear an injustice without wanting to get even. • Maturity is the ability to control anger and settle differences without violence. • Maturity is patience. It is the willingness to postpone immediate gratification in favor of the long-term gain. • Maturity is perseverance, the ability to sweat out a project or a situation in spite of heavy opposition and discouraging setbacks. • Maturity means dependability, keeping one’s word, coming through in a crisis. The immature are masters of the alibi. They are confused and disorganized. Their lives are a maze of broken promises, former friends, unfinished business and good intentions that somehow never materialized.

  8. 7 stages of Transition • numbness/shock • denial • depression • acceptance of reality • testing • search for meaning • internalization

  9. The Psychology of Change • In order to succeed, you need to understand the three most important elements in changing a behavior: • Readiness to change - Do you have the resources and knowledge to successfully make a lasting change? • Barriers to change - Is there anything preventing you from changing? • Expect relapse – What might trigger a return to a former behavior?
