Age appropriate programs

As I have said a number of times in a number of ways, programs and activities need to be age appropriate. This is more than just, “are they tall enough” but emotional and intellectual development. A few summary comments:
  • Adolescents younger than 18 may not be very skilled at or even capable of seeing a bigger picture so keep the program specific.
  • Adolescents younger than 15 may not understand abstraction, or sequence.
  • Adolescents younger than 13 may not understand feelings, especially of others and may not be able to adequately express their feelings.
