Mommy, I told you last time that I am not a baby anymore.
Let's go, baby girl! Let's go to your school, this is your first day. Are you excited?
Mommy, I am not baby anymore and I can handle myself, I am high school student now.
We're here baby! C'mon let's find your new room.
Hi, Athena! We did not expect that until now we are high school you will bring your mom. Hahaha!
Elyza and Marie, about what happened earlier. I hope you do not tell to others. Please!
We promise to you Athena that no one will know what happened earlier.
The children want to detach from her mother because he believed that she is not a kid or baby anymore. I think she was embarrassed when her mother called her baby. Puberty and wanting of acceptance of peers can result in a distancing from child's parents due to the desire for something.
At this stage the child will become shy to their friends, they don't want to bring their parents to school because they believed that they are not young anymore and they can handle anything in school.
Athena and her friend begin to develop decision-making abilities. They learned how to make a secret and learned how to be a secret keeper.. They become more trustworthy. This is where a change in behavioral autonomy takes place.
