Supporting children's transition to adolescence is a crucial time in their development. It's important to provide a supportive and nurturing environment to help them navigate the physical, emotional, and social changes they may experience. One way to support this transition is by fostering open communication. Encouraging children to express their thoughts and feelings can help them build resilience and cope with challenges.

Another important aspect is providing positive role models. Whether it's family members, teachers, or community leaders, having positive influences can help children develop a strong sense of identity and self-worth.
