Independence and Autonomy

They crave independence and autonomy, needing opportunities to make decisions, take responsibility, and assert their individuality.

Peer Relationships

Social connections with peers become increasingly important. They need to develop friendships, navigate peer pressure, and learn social norms.

Emotional Regulation

As emotions intensify with hormonal changes, they need support in managing and expressing emotions in healthy ways.

Identity Exploration

They may explore different roles, beliefs, and values, seeking to understand their place in the world and their values.

Identity and Self-Concept

They are forming their identity and self-concept, seeking to understand who they are and where they fit in socially and culturally.

Understanding these needs and providing a supportive environment that encourages open communication, autonomy, and positive relationships can help preteens and teens navigate adolescence successfully. Building trust and maintaining a strong connection with them is crucial during this transitional phase.
