Adolescent DevelopmentChild Development Media » Development » Adolescent DevelopmentAdolescence is time of great change and transition for teens and parents alike; it is the period when an individual first begins to let go of childish ways in an effort to embrace adult behavior. It can be a period of great stress and anxiety, as teenagers face many questions about their own identity and where they fit in their world. For parents, it can a difficult period, as their teen is no longer the child they once knew, but a rapidly developing individual preparing for life outside of the immediate home. Titles in this section offer guidance, insight, and understanding of adolescent development and into what is potentially a difficult period in a child’s life. Many titles provide ideas on how to facilitate communication between parents and teens to enhance understanding and provide support to the growing teen’s needs.
