Adolescence
The Emotional Development
EMOTION?
Emotion is part of a person’s
character that consists of their
feelings as opposed to their
thoughts.
Emotional development during adolescence involves establishing a realistic and coherent sense of identity in the context of relating to others and learning to cope with stress and manage emotions.
