    Glossary Puberty

    developmental stage marked by physical and hormonal changes for reproduction

    Puberty is the developmental stage during which a child's body undergoes physical and hormonal changes to become capable of sexual reproduction. This period typically involves the growth of body hair, development of secondary sexual characteristics like breast development in females and deepening of the voice in males, and the onset of menstruation in females.
