The difficult child
Difficult children are highly active, irritable, and irregular in their habits. Negative withdrawal responses are typical and they require a more structured environment. These children are usually intense and primarily negative. They exhibit frequent periods of crying, and frustration often produces violent tantrums. This group represents about 10% of children.
Identity vs. Role Confusion (Puberty)
Dramatic physiological changes associated with sexual maturation mark this stage. There is a marked preoccupation with appearance and body image. This stage, in which identity development begins with the goal of achieving some perspective or direction, answers the question "Who am I?" Acquiring a sense of identity is essential for making adult decisions such as choice of a vocation or marriage partner.
