Kalyani, A Creative Spark

                  Last day I discussed with my daughter Kalyani about the new blog The Creative Minority and the wide possibilitiesit opens to us. My little daughter of eight was totally excited by knowing that her writing would also be read by others.
                  For the whole day she tried to flame her creative spark by writing many stories and poems, but in vain.
                  For her happiness I am posting the following poems in a new Blog,

1. My Puppy

2. പൂക്കള്‍
   

                   The first written by her while she was in L K G and also published in the School Magazine.
                  Now I can see the smile and the glowing face of my child, which is the greatest treasure for me.
                  Please read and encourage her. 

What is Adolescence ?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Adolescence (from Latin: adolescere meaning "to grow up") is a transitional stage of physical and psychological human development generally occurring between puberty and legal adulthood (age of majority). 

The period of adolescence is most closely associated with the teenage years, although its physical, psychological and cultural expressions can begin earlier and end later. 

For example, although puberty has been historically associated with the onset of adolescent development, it now typically begins prior to the teenage years and there has been a normative shift of it occurring in preadolescence, particularly in females (see early and precocious puberty).

Physical growth, as distinct from puberty (particularly in males), and cognitive development generally seen in adolescence, can also extend into the early twenties. Thus chronological age provides only a rough marker of adolescence, and scholars have found it difficult to agree upon a precise definition of adolescence.

A thorough understanding of adolescence in society depends on information from various perspectives, most importantly from the areas of psychology, biology, history, sociology, education, and anthropology. 

Within all of these perspectives, adolescence is viewed as a transitional period between childhood and adulthood whose cultural purpose is the preparation of children for adult roles.
 
The end of adolescence and the beginning of adulthood varies by country and by function, and furthermore even within a single nation state or culture there can be different ages at which an individual is considered to be (chronologically and legally) mature enough to be entrusted by society with certain tasks. Such milestones include, but are not limited to, driving a vehicle, having legal sexual relations, serving in the armed forces or on a jury, purchasing and drinking alcohol, voting, entering into contracts, completing certain levels of education, and marriage. 

Adolescence is usually accompanied by an increased independence allowed by the parents or legal guardians and less supervision as compared to preadolescence.

In popular culture, many adolescent characteristics are attributed to physical changes and raging hormones. There is little evidence that this is the case, however. In studying adolescent development, adolescence can be defined 

• biologically, as the physical transition marked by the onset of puberty and the termination of physical growth;  
• cognitively, as changes in the ability to think abstractly and multi-dimensionally; or  
• socially, as a period of preparation for adult roles. 

Major pubertal and biological changes include changes to the sex organs, height, weight, and muscle mass, as well as major changes in brain structure and organization.  

Cognitive advances encompass both increases in knowledge and in the ability to think abstractly and to reason more effectively. 

The study of adolescent development often involves interdisciplinary collaborations. For example, researchers in 

• neuroscience or bio-behavioral health might focus on pubertal changes in brain structure and its effects on cognition or social relations.  
• Sociologists interested in adolescence might focus on the acquisition of social roles (e.g., worker or romantic partner) and how this varies across cultures or social conditions. 
• Developmental psychologists might focus on changes in relations with parents and peers as a function of school structure and pubertal status.

Why this English KOLA VERI Daa.....!!!

          As an English Teacher, I feel, it is my responsibility to note down a few points about the importance of English. 

          Language plays a very crucial role in our life. Languages make our life meaningful.

          In this world of Internet, the role played by English cannot be under estimated. It is the most popular language in the world. It can be considered as a common language for all and also has the status of an international language or a global language.

          It is the only one language which is spoken in almost all the continents.

          In this competitive society, the knowledge of good English is very essential. If you are a job opportunist, you need talent, self confidence, hard working nature with good and fluent English.

          While we are coming to the Internet we can't imagine it without English. Internet is totally English oriented. If we want to use Internet properly, the knowledge of English is the first and foremost one. Most of the information given in the Internet are in English.

           So, Dear Friends, Be Positive and Enlighten yourself by Listening, Speaking, Reading and writing good English
