Harnessing the Power of Adolescence During High School to Post-School Transition
Adolescence can be a trying time, but it is also a time of growth and excitement. Adolescents have a big job in learning to be adults. Adults in their lives want them to be effective and show leadership in their chosen path to adulthood. This session will address the developmental tasks adolescents and the adults around them experience in order to transition successfully into adult responsibilities. It will also explore strategies to harness adolescents’ natural curiosity and drive for independence to support youth in this transition. It is founded in child and adolescent development principles from current research. Practical strategies will be discussed to encourage those working with adolescents to support transition in effective ways.
- Understanding the developmental tasks of adolescents necessary for successful transition to adulthood.
- Understanding how the parent/adult role changes during this dynamic developmental time.
- Learn 2-3 critical support strategies to encourage the independence and emotional intelligence of adolescents.
