  15. “Adolescents”…… • …….a stage of development between childhood and adulthood.

  16. Puberty Puberty signals the beginning of Adolescence.

  17. “Puberty”…… • ….is the part of adolescence when the reproductive system becomes mature.

  18. Puberty…… *growth period when a teens body starts looking like and adult *develops the physical ability to

  19. Puberty is often referred to as ….. • “the passage into adulthood“

  20. Puberty…… • ….is when the body matures both inside (inside) and out (externally)

  21. puberty[ˈpjuːbəti]nounthe time when a child's body becomes sexually mature Arabic:سِن البُلوغ Chinese (Simplified):青春期 Czech:puberta Danish:pubertet Dutch:puberteit French:puberté German:die Pubertät Indonesian:pubertas Italian:pubertà Japanese:思春期 Korean:사춘기 Finnish:murrosikä Norwegian:pubertet Portuguese (Brazil):puberdade Portuguese (Portugal):puberdade Romanian:pubertate Slovak:puberta Slovenian:puberteta Spanish:pubertad Swedish:pubertet Other cultures recognize puberty too!

  22. Puberty….. Isn’t a single event – but rather a gradual process that lasts 3-6yrs…… so get used to it…your body is changing!

  23. Puberty….. Changes inside: brain & certain glands begin to release larger amounts of hormones into your blood stream.

  24. Puberty….. Hormones play an important role in your bodies development

  25. A HORMONE is … • ..a chemical made in one part of the body > >>> • carried in the bloodstream>>>> • causing a change in another part of the body. • HORMONES that cause sexual maturity are called sex hormones ex: testosterone (male), progesterone (female)

  26. The PITUITARY GLAND • …is responsible for physical growth • It releases two hormones 1. HUMAN GROWTH HORMONE > stimulates growth 2. FOLLICLE STIMULATING HORMONE> development of reproductive system • …stimulates ovaries and testes to release hormones.

  27. Changes for both sexes…..

  28. SLEEP • Teens frequently sleep longer. • Research suggests: • that teens need more sleep • allows their bodies grow and repair • on average, teens need about 9 1/2 hours of sleep a night.

  29. Awkwardness /Growth Spurts • Teens may be more clumsy because of growth spurts. • During puberty: • body parts don't all grow at the same rate • leads to clumsiness as the teen tries to cope with limbs that seem to have grown overnight • Teens can appear uncoordinated.

  30. Weight concerns .. girls • Teenage girls may become overly sensitive about their weight. • This concern arises because of the rapid weight gain associated with puberty.

  31. Weight concerns .. girls cont. • 60%of adolescent girls report that they are trying to lose weight. • A small percentage of adolescent girls (1-3%) become so obsessed with their weight that they develop severe eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa or bulimia.

  32. Eating Disorders….male and female • Anorexia = self starvation • Bulimia = binge and purge • Binge Eating = bingeing on high calorie/comfort food • Anorexic/Bulimic = a combination

  33. Developing at different rates! • Teens may be concerned because they are not physically developing at the same rate as their peers. • Teens may be more developed than their peers ("early-maturers") or less developed than their peers ("late-maturers"). • Being out of developmental "step" with peers is a concern to adolescents because most just want to fit in.

  34. Early maturation… • Early maturation affects boys and girls differently. • BOYS……. • Research suggests that early maturing boys tend to be more popular with peers and hold more leadership positions.

  35. early maturing…Boys continued…. • Adults often assume that early maturing boys are cognitively mature as well. • This assumption can lead to false expectations about a young person's ability to take on increased responsibility. • Risk taking

  36. Early maturing girls • Because of their physical appearance: • more likely to experience pressure to become involved in dating relationships with older boys before they are emotionally ready. • Early maturing girls tend to suffer more from: • depression • eating disorders • anxiety.

  37. Awkward expressing feelings • Teens may feel awkward about demonstrating affection to the opposite sex parent: • An teen girl who used to hug and kiss her dad may now shy away. • A boy who used to kiss his mother good night may now wave to her on his way up the stairs. • As they develop physically, teens are beginning to rethink their interactions with the opposite sex. • Friendships • Dating

  38. Asking questions about sex Teens may ask more direct questions about sex: **trying to figure out their sexual values. **Teens often equate intimacy with sex. ** teens will assume that if they engage in the physical act, the emotional attachment will follow.

  39. Puberty….. • It is unpredictable as to EXACTLY when it will occur…..BUT, • Puberty will eventually happen.

  40. “Physical” changes include….. Growth Patterns Aggressiveness Hormone Changes Primary Sex Characteristics (reproductive changes) Secondary Sex Characteristics (other changes beyond reproductive ones)

  41. Am I normal???? Height, foot size, foot size experiments “My shirts and pant legs are all of sudden too short”. “I now have B.O. when I never used to” “My hands can grab an adult size basketball easier now and shoe’s are changing sizes (it seems to be almost each month!)

  42. Am I normal???? Yes – everyone will develop into an adult! Some start sooner/later than others… slower/quicker than others…. All at their own pace. THAT IS NORMAL! Your body will develop at the time that is right for YOUR BODY!

  43. Primary Sex Characteristics • Structures necessary for reproduction develop fully • Males> testes, penis, & related internal reproductive organs • Females> ovaries, vagina, uterus & related internal reproductive organs

  44. Secondary Sexual Characteristics for both genders Underarm hair More body hair/texture Change in skin texture … ZITS & Oily hair ! Body Odor – need to wear deodorant

  45. Hormonal Changes cause a “Growth Spurt” The body grows faster than it ever has (except the first year of your life). • results in energy levels being high and low • Appetite increases • Need more sleep = repair and growth

  47. Growth patterns • Uneven – and at a different rate than peers may cause embarrassment due to lack of or over development. • Awkwardness – proper coordination of all body parts haven’t developed yet. • Growth of bones & muscle tissue can be painful “growing pains”

  48. Osgood-Schlatter disease. • affects the softer area of bone near the top of the shinbone, where bone growth occurs. • It's most common in boys who play games or sports that involve running or jumping. • discomfort can last a few months and may continue to recur until the child's bones stop growing.

  49. Aggressiveness • Physiological changes often cause restlessness (changes in your body) • Aggressive play may be a way of reducing stress • Aggressiveness may be a way to establish personal identities

  50. Changes in BOYS: • Generally occur between 10 – 18… years • First sign is usually the “Growth Spurt”… growing in inches and pounds. • Usually begin developing 2 years after girls do. • Complete sexual development by 18.
