Physical change at puberty
• Puberty is the time when the body grows and develops into an adult.
• As a result of rising hormone levels, physical changes are triggered in the body and the reproductive organs begin to work.

Physical change in girls
The changes girls will notice between 9-16 years are:
• a rapid growth in height and breasts beginning to grow;
• hair growth under the arms and between legs;• hips becoming wider;• a curvier appearance to the body outline due to fat
being laid down under the skin;• a slightly deeper voice; and• the menstrual cycle beginning with their first period.
These changes happen over 2-3 years.

Emotional change during pubertyThe huge changes that take place in the body can make puberty an emotional rollercoaster. These teenage mood swings can be caused by:
• the brain still developing – especially the area in charge of impulse control and managing risks and consequence;
• hormonal fluctuations of estrogen and testosterone;• the frustration of changing from a child to an adult;• wanting independence and control;• peer influences and the desire to belong to peer group;• the beginning of sexual responses to others; • awareness of body image; and • self-esteem.
