Essay On The Effects Of Transition On Adult Children

This chapter focused on a controversial issue among young adults, the transition to adulthood can be hectic and varies among social classes. I agree with the author that adulthood is not a matter of age, but instead the feeling of success when one achieves certain milestones. Also, researchers have focused on the Big 5 indicators of adulthood, I disagree with this concept because due today’s economy it’s hard to find jobs after graduation thus making it difficult to live independently. For instance, by the age 24 my grandmother was married with children and lived independently with my grandfather. In my case, I’m 21 still enrolled in college with no children and remaining semi-dependent on my parents. I’ve noticed that most of the older populations

An event that took place that made a transition from childhood to Adulthood is when I transferred from Indian Valley to Tuscarawas Central Catholic. It was a big transition because I went from a school with five hundred kids in the whole school, from grades nine through twelve, to about 120 kids from grades seven through twelve. I didn't like what was happening with my grades and there wasn't a lot of help because they are a lot of kids that they had to deal with or help with so that's when I decided to transfer to help me with my future. At first it wasn't an easy transfer because I left all my friends and memories there. Also, I didn't know anyone at Central so it was like starting my life over again with new friends and memories.

According to the chapter, family conflict is a risk that could cause unhealthy development where parental support and monitoring, and positive relationships with adults promote healthy development (Broderick, & Blewitt, 2014). A healthy family system promotes healthy development however there are many things that could upset the balance of the family system. Henson described an unhealthy family system as dysfunctional (Family Systems, 2017). He uses his own life story by describing how his mother left him and his father. This would make a family unbalanced as the role of the mother is no longer in the picture. With his father’s several remarriages, it caused him to carry anxiety into his adulthood. Anxiety can affect a child’s social development. A child that doesn’t have a stable mother figure could possibly grow up fearing women or may make their own relationships with women difficult. If a family is living in an abusive situation, that could affect the victim's emotional, spiritual, physical and social development. A child who gets abused by a parent could become more isolated. It could affect their self-esteem. Abuse can physically affect the development of a mother's unborn child. Another thing that could affect a family's spiritual development is the loss of a family member, or a home itself. Pain from a sudden loss doesn’t go away fast. It is something that can keep the family unbalanced for a long

Most children will experience some sort of transitions. Common types of transitions in children’s lives are moving home, going hospital, change of routines, change in groups such as classes and rooms, change of career and the most important of all the change in schools. As an early years practitioner it is your role to help them feel better and confident that they are going to be in a safe and secure environment. Some children may have fears and worries but as a practitioner, we should be helping and supporting them to feel secure. For children that are under 3, they may experience the change in rooms in the nursery as well as changes in their routines. It’s important to remember that children under 3 may need more time to understand the rules,

People mark the point of reaching adulthood in many different ways, such as the eighteenth birthday, puberty, or getting their drivers license. I consider the major transition point into adulthood as being when I got my first job. I was hired about a month after my sixteenth birthday. I had been applying for jobs so I would have something to do and a way of making money. I applied to numerous different places and many different kinds of places, including fast food restaurants and clothing stores. The day after I sent in all my applications, I got a call from Sonic Drive-In. I was so excited to have my first job. I have worked there for nearly six months and loved every minute of it.

People say that in life you will have some sort of epiphany and this will be your transition into adulthood. Some people have this coming of age early, while some don’t have it until they’re twenty or thirty years old. Some people never have a transition into adulthood, which is what you don’t want. For some people this happens subtly, and for others it’s like a slap to the face. For me, this coming of age happened the summer of my seventeenth birthday, and it happened faster than lightning.

The accomplishment that helped me transition into the young adult that I am today is something that I'm very proud of. Every since I was a little kid all I've ever wanted to do was sing. I started singing as a small child in my church choir, at the early age of five.

Transitioning into adulthood by coming out isn’t the easiest way to do things. It wasn’t the chosen path, of course, but it happens to be my story.

“It’s the first time you walk into school your freshman year” I’ve heard, “It’s the day you walk up the stage graduate” others have said, referring to the moment you enter adulthood of course. For me it was neither, rather it was everything inbetween. I have no idea who expects you to take your first step into high school and just know what to do like an adult would. On my first day of freshman year I was completely helpless; I had to something rear for a child to do, figure it out. I had to find the right person to ask for directions to my first class. Once my first class was located I thought things would return to “normal” and it would be just like class in middle school. Oh was I wrong. Every teacher handed out a syllabus, a word that had no meaning to me prior, with class expectations detailing a number of rules and responsibilities you should have for the class.

Adulthood is the life course stage I occupy. I’m not a young adult but not middle-aged either. I am twenty-eight years old.

We can’t pressure or ridicule the young that are trying to transition into adulthood, but instead we should educate and inform them. It seems as if people are ambitious but lack the meaning of work ethic. They just want it handed to them on a silver platter. Sadly, today the young are mostly entitled, self-interested or lazy. Sure, the delay of urgency is a major concern, but it’s not the only reason why the transition into adulthood is slowing down. Low self-esteem is halting the transition into adulthood but it’s not their fault.

Adolescent’s can transition towards adulthood at any point in time during their life. Major events or even smaller tragedies can lead that switch of being just a regular child into a full grown adult within seconds, whether mentally, physically, and/or emotionally. This shift drastically impacted my life at the ripe age of nine years old. My transition commenced when my mother fell into the oblivion of her unknown illness which left me motherless and alone for months at a time.

The age that defines adulthood varies from one culture to the next. In the contemporary United States, adulthood is most often marked by turning eighteen and gaining the rights to vote, sign a contract, enlist in the military, serve on a jury, etc. But has any consideration gone into why eighteen is the age of adulthood? Most will answer that it marks when an individual is able to support themselves on their own, yet it marks no significant physical or mental development. Studies have shown that full brain development doesn’t even occur until the mid-twenties. So with this information combined with statistics about the effects of war and combat on young adults, and the new trends in society that make it difficult for people that age to live

In this article it includes research that focuses on the transition to adulthood and its consequences. Teenage marriage and adulthood affect these transitions. Family is a main institution. This article investigates youths opinions about family and marriage. Their expectations are important to the future. Other factors that contribute to those expectations are race and gender. Most of the youth's opinions come from earlier family experiences.

The family system can have both positive and negative impacts on the development of children. Whether the influence is directly or indirectly affecting the child’s life, it all matters and determine the development of the child. “Children cannot know themselves without some sense of other. Nor can they forge their self-identities without an awareness of their own values” (Broderick & Blewitt, 2015, p. 171). Children are faced with all types of factors that can promote healthy development and can hinder it as well. For example, A child that is exposed to abusive situations whether it be directed toward them or another family member, can cause for the child to be very fearful of others, or they may experience it so much that they feel the behavior is normal and do the same. The family system plays a fundamental role in forming the values of children. The type of treatment children receives during their early years of life affects their ability to handle important issues that may come up throughout their lives.
