Trevor is getting ready to go to a school dance with a girl he likes, but he feels self-conscious because his voice is deepening and he is beginning to grow facial hair. While he is most worried about sweaty palms and stepping on his date’s feet as they dance, his dad, Sam, has also noticed the physical changes in his son and that he seems more nervous than usual. He decides to approach him about it. What is likely to be Sam’s main concern?
A :
Sam wants Trevor to know that puberty is a normal development and to expect other changes as well, such as an increase in height and the need for greater sleep.
B :
Sam wants Trevor to know that he is becoming a man, which means he will need to assume more adult responsibilities around the house and with younger siblings.
C :
Sam wants Trevor to know that puberty is a normal development but it results in sexual maturity, which can lead to impregnation if not careful.
D :
Sam wants Trevor to know that he is going through climacteric, which can affect his cognitive abilities and possibly impair decision making.
