During which developmental stage do most parents see significant physical changes in their children?

  1. Middle childhood

  2. Adolescence

  3. Early adulthood

  4. Latency

The correct answer is: Adolescence

During adolescence, children go through significant physical changes, such as growth spurts and the development of secondary sexual characteristics. Early adulthood can also involve physical changes, but these are usually less drastic and more gradual compared to those during adolescence. Middle childhood and latency are not associated with significant physical changes, as this is a stage where children's growth and development are more stable and consistent.
