What do you think are some good ways to cope with the changes that occur during this rapid period of growth? (Talk to family members, understand that changes are natural and normal, meet with a doctor if overly concerned, read articles or books on the subject.)
Do you think it is helpful to know about these kinds of changes? Why or why not? ("Yes" is the preferred answer since most will agree that it is better to understand and be prepared for what lies ahead of them. If some students say "No," encourage them to explain why.)
Do kids have any control over these kinds of changes? Why or why not? (Not really. Again, your family genetics serve as a natural plan of growth for you. It is important to appreciate and accept this fact. However, you do have some control over your own growth and development. That is, if you eat right, get plenty of sleep, exercise regularly, and see a doctor regularly, you will help to ensure that you grow and develop to your full potential.)
