cognitive changes
cognitive or mental changes of early adolescence are less easy to observe, but can be as dramatic as the physical and emotional changes. During adolescence, most children move dramatically in the way they think, reason and learn. Young children need to see and touch things to convince themselves that they are real. But during the early years of adolescence, children improve their ability to think about ideas and things they can not see or touch. They can better reasoning to solve problems and anticipate consequences or consider different points of view or action. For the first time, they can reflect on what might be, rather than what it is. A 6-year-old thinks that a person who smiles is happy and that a person feels sad cries. A 14-year-old could reason that a person who feels sad smile to hide his true feelings.
cognitive changes allow teens to learn more advanced material in school. They are more eager to acquire and apply new knowledge and consider a variety of ideas and options. These mental changes also apply to their emotional lives. For example, within the family, the ability to reason may change the way the teen speak and act against their parents. Anticipate the reactions of parents to what it says or does and prepares an answer or an explanation beforehand.
Additionally, these mental changes cause adolescents to consider who they are and who want to become. This process is called identity formation and is a major activity during adolescence. Most teenagers explore a variety of identities. Take "steps" that a father seems to change constantly. In fact, teens who do not pass through this period of exploration are more prone to psychological problems, especially depression, when they become adults.
Like adults with more experience and cognitive maturity may struggle with their different roles or roles, adolescents struggle to develop a sense of who they are. They begin to realize that play different roles with different people: son or daughter, friend, teammate, student and worker, among others.

Teenagers may think more like adults, but still lack the necessary experience to act like adults. As a result, their behavior may not fit their ideas. For example, your child can participate excitedly on a walk to raise funds to rescue the environment, while throwing soda cans in the street while walking. Or you can spend all night on the phone or computer, exchanging messages with a friend talking about how they dislike a partner because it is gossip.
takes time for adolescents and their parents to adapt to these changes. But changes can also be very exciting. These changes allow the teen to see how it will become in the future and make plans in order to become the person you want to be.
