CHAPTER 1

––––––––

SHIFT FROM CHILDHOOD TO ADOLESCENCE

In  this  kick-off  chapter,  we're  exploring  the  epic transition from being a kiddo to navigating the wild terrain  of  adolescence.  Picture  your  childhood  as  the superhero  origin  story  for  your  teenage  years—the  place

where it all begins.

Childhood is like a VIP backstage pass, complete with innocence, relying on the folks for backup, and wrapped in the warm, fuzzy blanket of parental care. Your parents, the OG influencers, are:

•  The ultimate guides.

•  Showing you the ropes of social life.

•  Dropping knowledge bombs on norms, values, and what's considered cool (or not).

They're not just your ride-or-die heroes but also the role models setting the stage for your coming-of-age drama.

Think of childhood as the training ground where you learn the art of self-control and responsibility. It's like your crash course in becoming a fully-fledged, well-adjusted human. Your parents are the drill sergeants, setting boundaries and laying down the law, all in the name of molding you into

someone who won't spill spaghetti on themselves during a fancy dinner.

The bond you form during your early years is like the magic glue that holds relationships together in the future. And those bedtime stories and life lessons your parents dished out? They're the secret sauce shaping your ethical compass.

Remember when you felt the warm fuzzies of your parent's love and the reality check that growing up involves more than just getting taller? Yeah, those were the days when responsibilities were lighter, and your only worry was deciding what cereal to have for breakfast. Just glance at your validation.

•  Children's Sweet Cravings for Extra Chocolate and Ice Cream are official snacks for growing up.

•  Children are not expected to perform hero duties; helping someone is cool, but there is no pressure.

•  Children enjoy more screen time by diving deep into the world of game shows or exploring online.

•  Children are always in a stress-free zone; The pressure is off, so if you want to hit the books, do it when it feels right.

As a kid, you're like a sponge soaking up your parents' love and care. Responsibilities? They're not even on the radar. Your life is a bit like a super well-crafted tapestry, and your

parents? They're the master weavers, making sure every thread is just right.

But hold up! Life takes a spin when you step out of the cozy home bubble and hit the school scene. It's a whole new game for both you and your parents. Some see it as this open canvas ready for exploration, while others are stuck trying to figure out how to juggle the comfort of home with the chaos of the outside world; many kids struggle initially. New school vibes can be a tough puzzle to solve. Learning might hit the brakes and the strict school schedule. It's like a mountain to climb, especially at the beginning.

But here's the kicker: as you roll through time, you start seeing that education isn't just a to-do list item; it's your golden ticket for the rollercoaster of life. Some parents jump in as your sidekicks, ensuring you turn into this incredible human. Meanwhile others? They're giving the school a nod like, Handle it, you got this, for their own reasons. Life's just one big adventure, right? You want to know the reasons for it.

•  There is an expectation that the school will take care of the academic stuff. It's like having a study sidekick!

•  The belief that the child is growing and capable of handling things independently. Growing-up vibes matter!

•  The recognition that parents have work and other responsibilities makes it challenging to monitor the child constantly. They work hard, juggling a bunch of

19

stuff. So, they can't be on our case 24/7. It's the real deal!

•  Things get real if a little brother or sister is involved. Suddenly, we might have to step up and handle more responsibilities. It's like a crash course in being a responsible big sibling.

•  The realization that the child may require additional tutoring or support to improve their academic performance; it's cool to admit we're not all perfect at everything.

Each child's unique story is intertwined with their preferences, experiences, and parents' belief systems. The tenor of one's childhood, whether replete with minimal struggles and abundant learning or, conversely, characterized by hardship, molds a distinct mindset—either one that views life as an accommodating journey or one that perceives it as an adventurous
