Family environment and background
The frequency of reading to and teaching children was very important to children’s behavioural outcomes. It was the better educated parents who engaged in reading to their children more and their children watched less TV.

Young people are busy how to understand the world around them, and how to fit in the word. How to achieve that can be influenced by cultural background, gender and family expectations.
Early adolescence (12-14 years)
Young people are looking for more responsibility. They looking for more challenges to get more experience, it can be risky because they can involve in dangers. Young people looking for more independence. They can express their self well but sometimes they are rude to adult. They show more argument with parents. World is not perfect. They reflect more on “right” and “wrong” and set for them self values and morals.
Also get more experiences about responsibility for own decisions and consequences.
They reflect on career and future. Children discover they sex and show interesting in romantic relationships. The relationships are not always intimate relationships, some children get involve to early in sexual relationships and some until late on in their life. They start discover they body well and increase touching there body’s sex
organs.
Physical body changes for young people like gain weight and height, body hair, breast growth and monthly period in girls and deep voice for boys.
Middle adolescence (15-16 years)
The physical appearance and changes become more important. Teenage self esteem often affected by peer group, what do they think about his look? Young people like to spend more time with friend and less time with family. They have more argument with parents/carers as they want more independent.
Young people think different from adult and question different points of view.
Young persons are looking for true love by always changing relationships. Try to be attractive all time.
Looking for role models usually famous persons. Plan and setting goals for future.
Body continued to growth. More body hair. Sweats more. Skin become more oily.
Growth in sex organs.
Late adolescence (app 17-19 years)
Young people showing emotions in a very strong way. They mood are still unpredictable. Young peoples are still learning how to control and express emotions.
By time young people get butter at understanding other people’s emotions but sometime they misunderstand facial expressions and body language.
They sense of humour become greater. They show stability in there interest. Try look after each other.
The young person is proud of his success and shows real independent.
Young persons show more activity towards opposite sex. Know what they want. Looking for real love, some young person will be motivated in sexual relationship that is depend on culture and family back ground.
The young persons show more understanding about their environment and cultural back ground. They are more able to rich they goals and maintain personality and self-esteem.

At The Lighthouse children try to argue with carers for every things, after they reflect on it, by time they come and say “you are right”.
At The Lighthouse we support the children by the way that lead them to find the right way by them self.
Some of them have girl friend, meet each other time to time and spend quality time.
In some case, the young person was so worry about the physical development of his penis. Allegedly said “it is too small”, we support him by arranging a visit with GP to talk to him as expert. After some key worker session with the young person, now we know that the history of watching porn, caused that the problem.
