As an outgrowth of the theory of flow, looks at some fine distinctions regarding the adolescent's optimal conditions for growth.

Three samples of 8- to 16-year olds were assessed three times at yearly intervals on eight water-level items.

Lipsitz, Joan – 1981
It is the misfortune of young adolescents that just at the point in their lives when they are seeking definition, two areas of confusion and ignorance converge: confusion about the purposes of schooling for young adolescents and ignorance about early adolescence as a critical developmental stage in the life span. Some myths which prohibit better…
