Child Development: 13- to 16-Year-Olds
http://www.schwablearning.org/articles.asp?r=779
Middle adolescence is a time of blossoming development — the insecure, inwardly focused 13-year-old becomes a cheerful, charming 16-year-old looking toward the future. During this time your child ’s thinking skills take a decidedly adult turn, his/her body matures, and friends and social networks outside the family become increasingly important. Now is when you will really begin to get a glimpse of the adult your child will become.

Combining Love and Limits in Authoritative Parenting: A Conditional Sequence Model of Disciplinary R
http://parenthood.library.wisc.edu/Larzelere/Larzelere.html
In contrast to the common practice of pitting love and limits against each other, several research programs have shown that optimal parenting combines the two. This paper outlines a conditional sequence model of optimal disciplinary responses and shows its consistency with a wide range of research. The model suggests that optimal disciplinary responses begin with less severe tactics, such as reasoning, but proceed to firmer disciplinary tactics when the initial tactic achieves neither compliance nor an acceptable compromise. The firmer tactics can be nonphysical punishment initially with nonabusive physical punishment reserved as a back-up for the nonphysical punishment. This is consistent with many studies showing that a combination of reasoning and punishment is more effective than either one alone and with new evidence that this sequence enhances the effectiveness of milder disciplinary tactics with preschoolers.

Developmental Milestone: Ages 3 through 5
http://www.schwablearning.org/articles.asp?r=324
Since birth, you’ve watched your child grow and develop. You’ve noted his/her height and weight, when he/she crawled, stood, and walked, even when he/she spoke his/her first words — and perhaps compared all of these milestones of his/her infant and toddler years to the "norms." The preschool and early school years are also full of changes. From three to five your child’s motor skills, language, thinking, and social development change dramatically. Knowing what to expect as your child grows can reassure you that your child is on track with hish/er peers or alert you to potential concerns. Access this web site for some milestones to watch for during the preschool years.

Developmental Milestones: The 6-Year-Old
http://www.schwablearning.org/articles.asp?r=329
In the early school years, you won’t see dramatic changes in motor skills because this is a period of refinement, when coordination improves and fine motor skills are sharpened. But you will notice remarkable changes in social and thinking skills. Your child is now building on the base of skills developed during early childhood and moving toward greater independence, both intellectually and emotionally.
