Problem
i. What is your opinion on participation in adult-organized sports (e.g., gymnastics, dance, soccer, baseball) during middle childhood - what are the pros; what are the cons? What kind of climate for learning should the coaches and parents create? What impact do you think these sports experiences have on middle childhood development?
ii. Recall your own reactions to the physical changes of puberty. Are they consistent with research findings discussed in the textbook? What are your thoughts on early-maturation vs. late-maturation during puberty - is one harder to experience than the other? What kind of impact can pubertal timing have on adolescent development?
