What Happens to Our Kids When We Fail to Grow Up?
Adolescence is full of exuberance yet has a shadow side. Big on self-confidence, teens ache to be special, to be right, yet still expect to be bailed out when things go wrong. Teens like to win regardless - to do what they do, because they can, not because it’s right.
Should we fail to leave adolescence, we continue to experience all the vulnerabilities of teen life, leaving us forever blaming and complaining, caught up in erratic self-centred behaviour, and agonising over what we’re meant to do with our lives.
