What are developmental milestones for adolescents?

Adolescents reach milestones that focus on emotional, social, and cognitive maturity. Typical milestones include:

• Developing stronger abstract thinking and problem-solving.
• Showing independence in decision-making.
• Building closer peer and romantic relationships.
• Going through physical changes of puberty.
• Exploring identity and future goals.

These milestones are important for preparing young people for adulthood.
