THE CHALLENGES OF MIDDLE AND LATE ADOLESCENCE

THE POWER OF PERSONAL DECLARATIONS

By Dr. Emily De Carlo

Group 3

The Passage to Adulthood: Challenges of Late Adolescence

These declarations are meant to encourage you to take control of the influences in your life. -You now have the authority to plant the seeds of love, encouragement and victory in your garden, thereby crowding out the weeds of negativity that may already have taken root.

Most commonly, we discourage in five general ways:

Emotional Development

Physical Development

  • Most girls have completed the physical changes related to puberty by age 15.
  • Boys are still maturing and gaining strength, muscle mass, and height and are completing the development of sexual traits.
  • We set standards that are too high for others to meet because we are overly ambitious
  • We focus on mistakes as a way to motivate change or improved behavior
  • We make constant comparisons (self to others, siblings to one another).
  • We automatically give negative spin to the actions of others.
  • We dominate others by being overly helpful, implying that they are unable to do it as well.

  • May stress over school and test scores.
  • Is self-involved (may have high expectations and low-concept).
  • Seeks privacy and time alone.
  • Is concerned about physical and sexual attractiveness.
  • May complain that parents prevent him or her from doing things independently.
  • Starts to want both physical and emotional intimacy in relationships.
  • the experience of intimate partnerships.

Social Development

ENCOURAGEMENT 101: The Courage to Be Imperfect

by Timothy D. Evans Ph.D.

  • Shifts in relationship with parents from dependency and ssubordination to one that reflects the adolescent's increasing maturity and responsibilities in the family and the community,
  • Is more and more aware of social behaviors of friends.
  • Seeks friends that share the same beliefs, values, and interests.
  • Friends become more important.
  • Starts to have more intellectual interests.
  • Explores romantic and sexual behaviors with others.
  • May be influenced by peers to try risky behaviors(alchol, tobacco, sex).

BEING HAPPY

Mental Development

Encouragement is a crucial skill for improving relationships and preventing conflict and misbehavior. It develops psychological hardiness and social interest, and is the lifeblood of a relationship. Despite its spiritual origins dating back of the bible, it is often difficult to implement.

Encouragement focuses on avoiding discouraging words and actions, as it can lead to misbehavior. Many people are skilled discouragers, using techniques like praise to "encourage" others. This can create tension and conflict in relationships, as people often bribe, reward, and emotionally withdraw to control their loved ones.
