What is an Adolescent?

Tweens and teens and adolescents oh my!  What an important time in the life of your kid(s).  The age of adolescence is defined as the years between 10 and 19.  For most, it begins with the physiological onset of puberty.  It ends when your child shows it ends…it has been that way for generations.

If you don’t already know there are three stages of adolescence.  They are –

1.  Early…it usually ends at about 14.
2.  Middle…the mid-teenage years of 15 to 17.
3.  Late…ages 18 to about 21.

Because adolescents are not “babies” they are stubborn and willful by and large.  There is someone in the New York City area who has spent decades developing techniques that are “teen friendly”.  He is NYC and NJ child psychologist Dr. Steven Sussman.  This is a very vulnerable time in your kid’s life.  It may be time to meet Dr. Sussman at his Mountainside NJ or Staten Island Office by calling (908) 217-8106.
