The Intersection of Adolescence, Adaptation and Loss

Parenting teens is a dynamic journey marked by constant change and emotional shifts. From Erik Erikson's stages of identity development to Elizabeth Kubler-Ross's five stages of grief, understanding the interplay between adolescence, adaptation, and loss is key to supporting your teen's growth. During the critical years of 12-18, teens grapple with identity versus role confusion, shaping their values, beliefs, and social connections. As parents, navigating these changes often means confronting our own challenges with adaptability and grief over evolving expectations.

Discover practical insights into managing these transitions, supporting your teen’s development, and finding balance in the ever-changing rhythm of parenting.
