As children transition into adulthood, the most significant bodily changes occur during puberty, which includes a growth spurt in height, development of secondary sexual characteristics like breast growth in females and facial hair in males, changes in body shape, increased muscle mass, acne, and the onset of menstruation in females; all driven by hormonal fluctuations in the body.
Puberty is the time when a child's body and mind undergo rapid changes that mark the transition into adulthood, including the development of secondary sexual characteristics and the ability to reproduce:
Puberty typically starts at 10-11 years for girls and 11-12 years for boys. It can be earlier or later. In puberty, children get taller, heavier and stronger. There are also changes in children's sexual organs, brains, skin, hair, teeth and sweatiness.
Beyond the growth spurts, other physical changes that happen in both males and females include body odor, acne, and more body hair
