 ADOLESCENCE
Ages 11 to 18 yrs. The transitional stage from childhood into adulthood. The onset of puberty
leads body changes and sexual maturity. This is the period that is preparing a child for
independence and separation from their family as they head off to college or work. They
begin to form their own thoughts and ideas in preparation for their future.
 My role as a
child
development
professional

My role as a child development

professional is to use my
knowledge, tools, and resources to
act as a guidance system to
children and parents.
 RATIONALE
The objective of encouraging family engagement in a childs education is
to develop a close and impactful relationship that aims to support all
involved and help them flourish. It is necessary that these partnerships
with families are goal-oriented and presented in a positive manner. This
will remain a continuing process of sharing information and knowledge
between schools and families.
 It is my belief children learn either directly or
indirect from their surroundings.

systems in which the person is embedded
(Vygotsky, 1978).
