April's Highlights

Transition to Adulthood~ In the fairly recent past, youth transitioned into adulthood rather quickly with most completing school, leaving home, entering full-time employment, and starting families by age 25 or so. Today, only a minority complete these transitions by age 30. This issue examines the causes of these changes, as well as what this means for youth and their families. By understanding this process, those who work with youth can better prepare and support them in making a successful transition to adulthood.

Social Media & Youth~ Do you have questions about teens' use of social media or the effects of social media on youth? Are you curious what the research is saying about teens and social media? If so, please submit your questions to ckimball@TPRonline.org. Include your mailing address and you’ll receive a free copy of the Q&A when it is printed (whether or not your question was used).
