Document Summary

Menarche takes place after the peak of the heigh spurt. In the sequence of pubertal events, the growth spurt occurs earlier for girls than boys. Compared to girls, boys tend to get less social support for the physically changes of puberty. High sex hormone levels are not the only factors responsible for adolescent moodiness. Psychological distancing between parents and children is normal during adolescence, and most parent-child con ict is mild. Early-maturing boys and normal-maturing girls tend to be popular, self-con dent, and sociable: puberty. Puberty is regulated by genetically in uenced hormonal processes. Girls typically reach puberty about two years earlier than boys: hormones. Growth hormone (gh) and thyroxine levels increase, which results in skeletal maturation. Estrogens and androgens are present in both genders, but in different amounts: Breasts, uterus, and vagina mature, feminine body proportions, accumulation of fat, menstruation. Muscle growth, body and facial hair, other male characteristics.
