The demands of adulthood seem more intense than ever before. New technologies, socio-cultural shifts, and educational stressors have created challenges many parents possibly never could imagined. The pandemic slowed down the pace of social and academic growth for many teens and young adults. Research points out that while today's children enter adolescence much sooner, some actually reach adulthood much later, resulting in an "extended adolescence". Some people call this psychological struggle a "failure to launch", but whatever you call it, it's difficult for everyone involved.
