Getting along with adolescent children starts with understanding

Adolescence is an intermediate transitional period starting from the “adolescence” when people leave childhood and have different physical characteristics according to different genders, and gradually move towards the adult stage, but they still do not have the rights and obligations of adults. Therefore, the self-identity of teenagers in this period will be very confused, feel hesitant, and easily fall into the confusion of changing roles. In addition, adolescents are emotionally rich and sensitive, and are easily influenced by the surrounding environment.

Physical development during adolescence begins with puberty. Hormone secretion is active during adolescence, the reproductive system develops, and secondary sexual characteristics gradually emerge. With the onset of puberty, there is a sudden increase in body weight and an overall dramatic growth of tissues such as muscles, bones and brain. Adolescents think differently from children, and their thinking is more logical and abstract. Adolescents have adult-level cognitive thinking ability, and with the rapid changes in body and physiology, they begin to realize the identity of self. Adolescence is called the hurricane period, which refers to a state of emotional instability and large fluctuations. This emotional instability is due to the sexual maturity and changes in the thought system that occur in the second growth, etc. Adolescents start out behaving like children, and then gradually begin to imitate adults, displaying inconsistent attitudes, and gradually stabilize their emotions as they grow older.

The developmental stages of adolescents change more rapidly, and they begin to understand abstract concepts such as social norms, values, and love that cannot be physically observed. Developmental characteristics can be divided into physical development, cognitive development, emotional instability, etc.

Adolescents are rich in imagination, which is an important stage of life growth. Through the analysis and support tools in this report, you can help you understand your child’s heart more deeply, so that you can more accurately guide your child to become what he deserves in the process of interacting with your child. bright future!

Bronfenbrenner's ecological theory

The Theory of Ecology is Bronfenbrenner’s theory of human development from a sociocultural perspective. He argues that in human development, the natural environment is an important source, and the environment, like matryoshka dolls, is a set of nested structures, each nested in the next. According to ecological theory, the environmental level of adolescent life is divided into five types, and the most direct system, the micro system, is divided into intermediate system, outer system, macro system and time dimension.

Microsystem

The microsystem refers to the environment to which young people are exposed. These include the family, house, friends, school, playground, neighbors, etc. where the teen lives. This system is closely related to the affects adolescents. Adolescents are not only influenced by the people within the microcosmic system, but also have influence on the microcosmic system as the subjects that constitute the environment. Thus, microscopic systems become more complex as adolescents grow.

Intermediate system

The intermediate system refers to the connection or mutual relationship between microsystems, that is, the relationship of the environment. Family life, school life, friendship, etc. belong to the intermediate system. The closer the relationship between the intermediate system, the smoother the development of the adolescent. Some problems may arise in microsystems and mesosystems. First, like a parent’s negative attitude toward peer misbehavior, each microsystem is potentially dangerous when it follows its own different values. In addition, in an extremely incomplete intermediate system, it is almost impossible to have active connections between microsystems. For example, incomplete intermediate systems such as parents who do not know who their children have friends, friends from different schools, etc., the connection between their microsystems is basically meaningless.

Outer systems

The outer systems in which children are not directly involved but have an impact on their development. In general, the outer system consists of the social situation. The main institutions of society such as government agencies, social welfare agencies, and mass media all belong to this system. Due to the difference in the outer system, adolescents will have different experiences. Restricting adolescents’ participation in the outer system can have adverse effects on their microsystems and mesosystems

Macro system

The Macro system refers to culture, subculture and social environment including micro system, intermediate system and outer system. According to the different social and cultural backgrounds of young people, the macro system indirectly affects young people through beliefs, attitudes, and traditions. The macro system is generally more stable than other systems, and exerts a strong influence on adolescents directly or indirectly through social habits that affect parents’ values.

Time dimension

Time dimension refers to changes in the environment and socio-historical circumstances that occur throughout a lifetime. Taking time as a frame of reference for studying psychological changes in individual growth, emphasizing the combination of children’s changes or development with time and environment. The process of adolescent development involves external events and psychological changes experienced over time. So whatever ecological shifts a teenager experiences as they grow up will have an impact on the direction of their development. This temporal dimension can have a huge impact on adolescents as the sociocultural environment changes.
