adolescence

The transitional period in a child’s development, spanning from ages 10 to 15, marks the initiation of their quest for independence. During this time, they begin to incorporate morality into their decision-making processes and form opinions and thoughts on various subjects. As puberty commences, they grapple with fluctuating emotions. Moreover, peers exert a growing influence, which can be both beneficial and detrimental, and they may encounter pressure to experiment with substances like alcohol and tobacco.
