Breakdown of Ages & Stages

Adolescent age groups:

  • 8-10 years old - While children these ages are still firmly in the school-age group, they are beginning to see some mental and physical changes as they develop towards adolescence.
  • 11-13 years old - Commonly referred to as “tweens,” at this age they are more physically mature and are having deeper thoughts on life, as well as setting goals and developing stronger relationships with peers.
  • 14-18 years old  - High school students are facing huge physical changes as well as preparing for a life after school. They are focused on developing a sense of self and experimenting to find their likes and dislikes.

See the workbook for more details information on these "Ages and Stages", along with an activity. The more detailed developmental charts are on pages 19/20, and the reflection activity is on page 16.
