Assignment task:
Search the internet for information about Emerging Adults (sometimes called Twixters). After doing some research, tell when you think adulthood REALLY begins. When did it began for you and why? What do you think about this whole idea of "emerging" adults rather than adulthood when one turns 18? Or 21? How do you think the coronavirus pandemic has affected the development of emerging adults and how has your adult development perhaps changed due to the pandemic? What are some of the obstacles today that seem to get in the way of independent adulthood? In your opinion, how can parents and other adults help their young people achieve responsible adulthood? What is NOT helpful, in your opinion and experience?
