Adolescent Separation and Individuation

The purpose of puberty is to reorganize ourselves, abandon childhood safety and establish a new identity. With the advent of adolescence, adolescent youth naturally completes ongoing work of separation and personalization from family units. Even in the best situation, some teenagers are worried about the new sense of responsibility, others seem to be seamlessly prepared to fulfill accountability of adults by leaving this stage. Regardless of how difficult and simple this process is, those experiencing this growth face unpredictable uncertainty, even in the sense of nostalgia, which has lost childhood.

Teenagers must separate and personalize. This means that they want to have their own lives, and puberty is ready for it. You should know that part of the process involves forming boundaries. In a nutshell, the borders are where the child ends. When a child is very young, there is actually no separation. The child gets milk from her mother. Then as the child grows up and grows older, natural and healthy separation begins. Because privacy is necessary children go to the toilet and close the door, you will be perplexed when someone enters him.

Adolescence is in a unique developmental stage from childhood to adulthood, it takes more than 10 years to complete. A common misunderstanding is that this is a time to live separately, but in fact, the role of parents in supporting, mobilizing, leading and setting the youth boundaries is very important. RAPS staff will explain why parents are involved and explain that changes can be made more quickly if the whole family can participate in the first meeting. The staff also explained that personal counseling is most effective if the customer brings about a change in motivation. If adolescent children are not clearly expressed, sending adolescent children to personal counseling does not guarantee the concern of their parents will be resolved. The RAPS staff can also use parental developmental interpretation to point out parents that parents are needed to help teenagers change.
