2CHILD AND ADOLESCENCE DEVELOPMENT
Introduction:
A child undergoes a series of personality developments through biological, emotional and
psychological changes. The development process continues till the end of the adolescence
period. Adolescence is a stage of transition to the adulthood age. Hence, the period between the
birth and the adolescence are very critical and needs to be taken care with utmost strategic
settings at homes, schools and the society. It is the responsibilities of parents that they are able to
judge the behavioural changes in their child, so that, effective strategies could be adopted to
address the changes. Effective measures are needed also at the school level to identify any
negative characteristic development in children (Bergin & Bergin, 2018). The assignment is
purposefully aimed at studying a chosen scenario in the light of the selected themes. Therefore,
the study finds the chosen themes as the areas of improvement for Brynne as depicted in scenario
2.
1. Knowledge and understanding of issues in adolescent development:
The chosen scenario is about Brynne who was very cooperative to its peers in class and
also a good performer. The results were excellent in year 7. However, Brynne was identified as
to have developed a few behavioural changes which are very uncommon to the characteristic.
Though, the results have been good again; however, the change in behaviour is not a good
indication for both Brynne and the other students in the same classroom. The change in
behaviour indicates the different types of developments that Brynne lack in like Moral
development, cognitive development and Social and emotional well-being. The identified areas
of development are very critical and must be rectified at the earliest, so that, it does not get along
in the adulthood age. The identified areas of development may seriously impact the decision

making capability, social wellbeing, appropriate display of emotions and much (). Following are
the identified issues in Brynne:
Moral development: It means educating a child to differentiate well from bad and to act
accordingly. It is in the list of parenting responsibilities. Teachers are also responsible for it. The
chosen case scenario does very well indicate that Brynne needs a moral development. The
change in behaviour from being cooperative to rude & rebellious just tells that Brynne is not able
to differentiate right from wrong. Brynne himself might not be aware of the fact that he lacks an
understanding of moral values. This is why the transition from being moral to rebellious was not
identified by him (Cook et al., 2017).
An understanding of moral values is necessary while being with the family and also the
social groups. A child with moral understanding possesses a certain set of traits which do not
only make him a good person but, also influences a social wellbeing. People close to him can
expect help in their needful situation. They feel pleased to be around him and are also able to
develop a god relationship with the person. Such kids are a resource to happiness for their
parents. Parents feel delighted as kids with high moral values do not make unnecessary demands
that may be a challenge to a few parents (Huang et al., 2014). Kids with high moral values are a
god stress reliever for their tutors. Tutors may ask such children to look after a few kids who are
weak in study. Such kids do effectively reduce the productivity of the whole class. Tutors are
required to pay extra attention to them. Such efforts do consume time and also affects the
concentration level of others (Huang et al., 2014).
Social and emotional well-being: Social and emotional well-being are the two different
terms yet interrelated to each other. Emotional well-being can be understood as a state where a
