Document Summary

We have ages at which we allow adolescents to engage in adult activities. This is where adolescents identify options, evaluate consequences, and make a choice. What they think is not necessarily what other people think. It is the ability to reflect on their role. Generalizes to social issues and more complex issues. Other child puts the toy they were playing with in the closet, when they normally put the toy in the drawer. The region of their brain that gauges this is more active. Aware of and sensitive to judgement from others. Personable fable is when everyone is unique, but htey are uniquier. end up with very similar groups because everyone is being unique! Bear in mind that people are still sensitive throughout life. Risk-taking increases in adolescence, but begins and ends. Risk-taking does not necessarily correlate with their morals.
