Q: Why is it important to discuss personal experience during childhood adolescence?

Point of view. The trend in preadolescence is to become hyper conscious of how others view you and whether you will be accepted or rejected by your peers. Many children refuse to participate in class oral discussion even when they have great knowledge about a topic because they are so worried about how they might be perceived by their classmates. People draw upon their personal cultural experiences to form opinions about how to behave and to form their own personal likes and dislikes. If you can get the adolescent child into a dialog about their personal experience it can lead to further dialog about other peoples personal experiences and will create a greater understanding and tolerence for others and help them to understand many of the issues they face are not unique to themselves.
