Question:easy

According to child developmentalists, which of the following age range is considered as 'Adolescence'?

Show Hint

Adolescence begins with puberty, placing it after late childhood.
  • 12 - 15 Years
  • 6 - 11 Years
  • 3 - 5 Years
  • Birth - 2 Years
Show Solution

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Eliminate the ranges one by one. Birth to 2 years is infancy, when basic motor and language skills first appear. 3 to 5 years is early childhood, the preschool stage. 6 to 11 years is late childhood, the primary school stage marked by steady growth before puberty. That leaves 12 to 15 years, the stage where puberty begins and physical, emotional and social changes mark the shift from childhood to adulthood, which is exactly what developmentalists label adolescence. \[\boxed{12 - 15 \text{ Years}}\]
