early adolescence
Between childhood, adulthood
Early adolescence is the initial phase of the teenage years, typically spanning ages 10 to 14, when puberty begins and children transition toward adulthood.
This period brings rapid physical changes, heightened self-consciousness, and shifts in social relationships as peer influence grows: Early adolescence is when kids start caring intensely about fitting in.
