Abstract

For children and adolescents, life is continuous growth and change, aiming to achieve a better, a greater form of adaptation to the environment. In childhood and adolescence, biological processes produce changes in the body and underlie brain development, height and weight gains, motor skills, and puberty’s hormonal changes. Genetic inheritance plays a large part but the individual experiences and learning opportunities are very important.
