Lesson Personal Development:
3 Developmental Stages in Middle
and Late Adolescence
Human Development focuses on human growth and changes across the lifespan,
including physical, cognitive, social, intellectual, perceptual, personality and
emotional growth. The study of human development is essential to understanding
how humans learn, mature and adapt. Throughout their lives, humans go through
various stages of development. The human being is either in a state of growth or
decline, but either condition imparts change.
What’s In
Instruction: Using a bond paper, write the major events in your life and the
significant people in your life. You may add your age, specific dates and places.
You may draw the timeline horizontally, vertically, diagonally or even using ups
and down depending on your imagination. Be creative in your representations.
You may also use symbols, figures and drawings. Think of a title for your personal
timeline. You may use crayons or art materials depending on the available
resources or just a simple paper and pen may be fine. You can also go for the
personal timeline website template samples available online. The link is

Activity 2. CATEGORIZING
What is It
DEVELOPMENTAL STAGES
The many physical, sexual, cognitive, social, and emotional changes that happen
during this time can bring anticipation and anxiety for both children and their
families. Understanding what to expect at different stages can promote healthy
development. From the moment we are born until the moment we die we continue
to develop.
Some aspects of our life change very little over time, are consistent. Other aspects
change dramatically. By understanding these changes, we can better respond and
plan ahead effectively.

Additional Activities
LIVING MINDFULLY
Living mindfully is like being an artist: you need the right tools to practice your
craft, and you need to constantly refine your technique to achieve your creative
potential. In the same way, using the present moment tools below will help you to
hone a consistent mindfulness practice that will in time lead to a more aware,
compassionate and fulfilling way of life.
Tool 1: Breathe Mindfully. Use your breath as an anchor to still your mind and
bring your focus back to the present moment.
Tool 2: Listen Deeply. Listen with intention; let others fully express themselves
and focus on understanding how they think and feel.
Tool 3: Cultivate Insight. See life as it is, allowing each experience to be an
opportunity for learning.
Tool 4: Practice Compassion. Consider the thoughts and feelings of others and let
tenderness, kindness and empathy be your guides.
Tool 5: Limit Reactivity. Observe rather than be controlled by your emotions.
Pause, breathe, and choose a skillful response based on thoughtful speech and
nonviolence under every condition.
Tool 7: Nurture Mutual Respect. Appreciate our common humanity and value
different perspectives as well as your own.
Tool 8: Build Integrity. Cultivate constructive values and consistently act from
respect, honesty and kindness.
Tool 9: Foster Leadership. Engage fully in life and in community. Share your
unique talents and generosity so that others can also be inspired.
Tool 10: Be Peace. Cultivate your own inner peace, becoming an agent for
compassionate action and social good.
PROCESSING: Write your answers in your journal notebook:
1. Which of the tools do you use most often? Why?

you try today?
