The adolescence is a period which runs between childhood and adulthood and is sometimes called the period of teenage. It is the period which begins with puberty and ends with the general cessation of the physical growth. It emerges from later childhood stage and merges into adulthood. Emotional development is the ability of an individual to recognize, express and manage feelings at different stages of life and to have empathy for feelings of others. Emotions play quite significant role in guiding and directing behaviour of a person. Adolescence is marked by heightened emotionality. It is very difficult for an adolescent to exercise control over his emotions because it fluctuates very frequently and quickly during this stage. Parents and the elder members of the family play an important role in bringing balanced emotional development of children. Adolescence is the most important and significant period of human life. A major part of the country’s population ranges between the ages 13 to 21 years. The country’s success in various field of life depends on the proper guidance of these adolescents. Keeping this in view, the present study has been contemplated in order to preserve, cure and prevent incidences of maladjustment.
