Transition from Infancy to Adolescence.
Per Giannina Briceño
CreaNova School Psychopedagogist
The Middle stage at CreaNova comprises the 5th and 6th years of primary school and the 1st year of ESO, marking a crucial transition period between infancy and adolescence. During this stage, students undergo significant cognitive and emotional changes that determine much of their future development.
As they enter adolescence, their emotional world is profoundly transformed, with internal processes that can be overwhelming both for them and for their environment. Adolescents begin to define their identity, to establish deeper social bonds and to establish a purpose in life, while at the same time facing academic, family and social challenges. For this reason, at CreaNova we believe that emotional support is a fundamental part of this stage.
It is not just a question of students acquiring academic knowledge and skills; it is also essential to equip them with the emotional skills that enable them to manage their well-being, communicate assertively and make responsible decisions. In this context, our approach is based on the creation of a safe and supportive environment, where students feel listened to and valued. This accompaniment not only addresses specific problems, but also fosters key skills such as resilience, empathy and the ability to manage and resolve conflicts.
At CreaNova, we implement strategies such as individualised tutorials and open conversation spaces to reinforce the emotional development of our students. These initiatives contribute to the fact that they feel supported in their process of self-development and personal strengthening.
The entire CreaNova team works in a coherent and positive way to be a model in the understanding and regulation of emotions. This comprehensive approach not only facilitates the acquisition of academic knowledge, but also helps students to discover and consolidate their emotional identity, preparing them to successfully face the challenges of this and future stages.
