In this article we will consider such initial periods of human life and development as childhood and adolescence. In addition to the characteristic features inherent in each period of a child’s life, its development and socialization in society, we indicate the significant differences between adolescence and childhood. So let's get started.
Happy time
The first thing I would like to draw your attention to is that childhood and adolescence are not just life periods, they are concepts that, at different historical times, have different peoples had far from the same cultural and social significance in education. As an example, we can consider videos from the World Wide Web that compare the Soviet childhood and the childhood of today's pencil kids, and not in favor of the latter. I would just like to emphasize, our dear readers, that today, with its high technological progress, will demand from the younger generation the knowledge and skills without which the word “tomorrow” does not take place.
So, let's point out the differences between adolescence and childhood. The first obvious difference in our arsenal is age restrictions, in other words, we can say that today you are still a child, and tomorrow you are already a lad, or as they say today - a teenager. Of course, the process of growth and development is not a whistle action for you, but something other than understanding the world around you.
So, the childhood period lasts from the moment of birth to eleven years. From the age of eleven, a child is considered a teenager, or a youth. Moreover, childhood is divided into infancy: from the moment of birth to one year. Next, the period of early childhood is distinguished: from one year to three years. Then comes the preschool age: from three to six years, and finally, the primary school age: from six to ten years. Children from eleven to seventeen are already referred to as adolescents.
Your baby is growing beyond his years
The stage of childhood is characterized by the rapid growth and development of the child. In infancy, the baby spends most of his time in a dream, waking up from hunger or from other unpleasant sensations, while blinking, grasping and sucking reflexes develop, milk teeth erupt, and most importantly, through the game, the child begins to recognize and cognize the world around him. The following is also a very important and significant period in life, since at this age (3-6 years) the child’s brain is actively developing, and starting from 7-8 years, the baby multiplies the knowledge gained.
New horizons, or What is adolescence?
To indicate the difference between adolescence and childhood, which is one of the most significant in physiological and psychological terms, is quite simple. This is the beginning of puberty. Internal and external changes are striking, that is, from yesterday's kids, fun and naughty kids, young men and women begin to “draw in”. The teenage stage is quite difficult for every child. Standing on the threshold of adulthood, the lad becomes more independent, on the one hand, and on the other hand, without having his own life experience, is quite vulnerable.
This material is designed for students in grades 5. To point out the differences between adolescence and childhood does not mean reducing everything only to age and physiological characteristics of development. It is important for students to understand how the worldview of a small person changes when, in an instant, being in a warm family nest, a baby entering the time of adolescence begins to have doubts about everything that his parents taught him before. His own opinion appears, and with it thousands of questions to himself. The youth is attracted by the unknown beyond the walls of the parental home, and this sensation brings discord to his young soul, primarily with himself.
Composition on creativity “Childhood. Adolescence "L.N. Tolstoy is an excellent occasion to understand the importance of childhood and the difficulty of adolescence. I would like to note that the work is written with sincere love for children, in which the author sees ideal new people who are not spoiled by the vices and troubles of life. Analyzing the emotional outbursts of the protagonist, the author makes young people think about the positive spiritual qualities that are inherent in them, children. The author wishes them to keep this “treasure” in their souls, share it with the world, cherish, cherish and cherish it in every way.
Conclusion
Summing up the above, I would like to note that it is enough to simply indicate the differences between adolescence and childhood, while highlighting the main aspect. This is an attempt to realize one’s “I” and search for one’s place in this world. The main thing is to learn to understand what moral self-improvement is, to strive for it, create your own set of rules and try to follow it.
