Understanding Emerging Adulthood
Emerging adulthood is a new life stage that begins after the age of 18 and typically ends in the mid to late 20s. It is a time of identity exploration, instability, self-focus, in-betweenness, and future possibilities. This stage is characterized by questions of self-identity, career, purpose, and relationships.
