In this lecture, we will review the Psychosocial Development in Adolescence; Erik Erikson’s Stages Of Psychosocial Development - Stage 5. Identity Vs. Role Confusion. The fifth stage of Erik Erikson’s theory of psychosocial development is identity vs. role confusion, and it occurs during adolescence, from about 12-18 years. During this stage, adolescents search for a sense of self and personal identity, through an intense exploration of personal values, beliefs, and goals (McLeod, 2023). According to Erikson, this is important to forming a strong identity and developing a sense of direction in life. The adolescent mind is essentially a mind or moratorium, a psychosocial stage between childhood and adulthood, between the morality learned by the child and the ethics to be developed by the adult (Erikson, 1963, p. 245).

In this lecture we will review Cognitive Development in Adolescence to include Piaget’s Theory’s section on The Formal Operational Stage; and a review of an article entitled Cognitive Development in the Teen Years by Stanford Medicine Children’s Health. What is Cognitive Development? Cognitive development is the process by which we come to acquire, understand, organize, and learn to use information in various ways. Piaget’s Theory - Jean Piaget is famous for his theories regarding changes in cognitive development that occur as we move from infancy to adulthood (McLeod, 2023). Cognitive development results from the interplay between innate capabilities (nature) and environmental influences (nurture). Children progress through four distinct stages, each representing varying cognitive abilities and world comprehension: the sensorimotor stage (birth to 2 years), the preoperational stage (2 to 7 years), the concrete operational stage (7 to 11 years), and the formal operational stage (11 years and beyond).

In this lecture, we will review the issue of Childhood Obesity Childhood obesity is a serious medical condition that affects children and adolescents. It's particularly troubling because the extra pounds often start children on the path to health problems that were once considered adult problems — diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. Childhood obesity can also lead to poor self-esteem and depression (mayoclinic.org). Obesity is typically defined as having an excess of body weight caused by a chronic caloric imbalance with more calories being consumed than expended each day. Children who are obese are at a significantly elevated risk for adverse health outcomes including both medical and psychological problems. Psychosocial correlates of obesity include internalizing and externalizing disorders, ADHD, problems related to body image, reduced quality of life, low self-esteem, social isolation and discrimination.

Children in middle childhood go through tremendous changes in the growth and development of their brain. It’s important to know what typical development looks like in order to identify and to help those that are struggling with health concerns (socialsci.libretexts.org). Doctors use certain milestones to tell if a child is developing as expected. There’s a wide range of what’s considered normal, so some children gain skills earlier or later than others. Children who were born prematurely reach milestones later. Always talk with your doctor about your child’s progress (choc.org).
