Parents need to recognize and compliment physical maturity.
Inform the adolescence of the risks of unprotected sex and conceiving at an early age
could be detrimental to their adult-hood.
Parents should provide information on how to protect their child from sexual

CHARACTERISTICS/BEHAVIOR OF THE CHILD I
OBSERVED TO THE TYPICAL DEVELOPMENT
The 16-year-old that I observed appeared to be an extrovert and had the ability to
perform multiple tasks at one time. For the most part, I noticed that she took notes
during class, texted on her cell phone, interacted with the teacher, and carried on a
conversation with the male student sitting behind her. She told me that she enjoyed
being in the Junior ROTC Army program at school because she wants to do something
positive in her life and has ambitions of being a female Officer in the United States Army
after going to college.

PSYCHOSOCIAL/SOCIAL: CHARACTERISTICS/BEHAVIOR
OF THE CHILD I OBSERVED TO THE TYPICAL
DEVELOPMENT
The 16-year-old that I observed was always on her cell phone in the classroom. She
spent more time paying attention to what was going on with her cell phone than anything
else going on in the classroom. Moreover, she did participate and paid attention during
the teachers lecture. For the most part, her attention was more on social media than on
classroom responsibilities, even though she was complying with the teacher to do work
in the classroom and participation.
PSYCHOSOCIAL/SOCIAL: RECOMMENDATIONS
BASED ON THE CHILDS AGE
Be respectful and friendly and try to maintain a good relationship.
Do not pry.
Discuss needs and expectations that get met in the relationship and avoid disapproval.
Encourage experiences with a variety of different people; for example, younger, older, and
different cultures.
Recognize and accept current level of opposite sex.
