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!

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.

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

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
