b) Learning and using manners.
c) Understanding what is public vs. private behaviors and topics of conversation.
d) Developing their self-esteem and understanding of their personal preferences, values and decision making.
e) Developing their public social skills i.e. eye contact, assertiveness, turn-taking, compromise, caring, negotiation, etc.
f) Developing schoolyard social skills i.e. slang words and language, what to wear, manners, determining what parts of TV shows are meant to be funny and/or are unrealistic, etc.
g) Learning about their physical anatomy and changes associated with puberty.
