Psychological changes in adolescence are quite remarkable. They reach a time in their lives when everything seems to change, when there are many things to be determined and that is when they are carving out a new identity. Although the physical changes are notable, the psychological ones are not far behind. So even for them it will be a big shock.
So, it is time to learn about the changes that our young people are going to undergo and that, as a general rule, always They are linked to a great egocentrism, to very compulsive behaviors or to being more vulnerable, among many. All of them are common and although they do not appear equally in all young people, they do come to be clearly identified.
They develop their new 'I'
Psychological changes in adolescence come together with a new 'I'. To a person who is already beginning to reason in a different way and who has his own ideas, goals and much more. Reflections on new topics will be the order of the day and also, they will greatly value the opinion that others have of him or herself. This is linked to those hormonal changes that are quite important and therefore, the image becomes one of the main focuses of attention.
Egocentrism is still very present
They do not stop being protagonists or that they want to be at all times. Although they reach another phase of their lives, this one will also revolve around himself, although in a different way. Because now it will be the adolescent himself who focuses on it and he does not want the parents to be too close. Yes, those hours of solitude in the room will begin to be common. In the same way it will be not telling so many things and closing in on yourself a little. We already said that the same pattern is not followed for all of them, so this type of characteristics does not always occur in the same way.
no one seems to understand them
Another of the most notable changes is this, and it is linked to the above that we have discussed. Because it seems that they are against the world or that it is the world that is against them, where nobody understands them, or so they and they believe. They are going through a difficult moment, in search of their own identity that they have to force, so that when they are more vulnerable, that feeling that they are alone on this path appears. You have to make them understand that this is not the case, but always with a lot of patience.
A more aggressive character
Surely no one escapes that time when aggressiveness is very present. This is also part of those changes in that phase and vgiven because they do not know how to manage their emotions. There are many changes and therefore, they do not know how to approach them or cope with them. They will be more irritable and therefore, we should not also get defensive but rather they see that we are on their side, supporting them at all times. It is true that when the character becomes really aggressive as a way of life, it will be time to ask for professional help.
Big changes in self-esteem
It's another one of those changes that happens at a stage like this. But it is also that it can be more complicated than we can imagine. Because although they care a lot about what others think, they also your own opinion can be devastating. It is true that in the early years it may be somewhat oscillating, since it will not always remain in balance, far from it. It is also something in which we must help and a lot so that self-esteem is always at good levels. Thus avoiding the fear of failure or ridicule, which is always important at this stage.
In order to deal with all this, you must establish a series of limits but not too hard. Try to have good communication and also always show interest in his life and his ideas.
