Young Adult Social

How it works

  1. 1~90s

    Three identity questions. First: has your child's identity consolidated — does they have a stable, coherent sense of who they is that doesn't dramatically shift with social context or peer pressure? Is the identity genuine — their own — rather than imposed? Second: does your child have stable personal values? Not rules, but deep commitments about what matters — honesty, fairness, compassion, achievement, community — that guide behaviour even when costly? Third: does your child have a sense of vocational or social identity — what they wants to do in the world, what role they wants to play, what they is working toward? Tell me.

    Watch for: Young adult has a consolidated, stable personal identity

  2. 2~90s

    Three relationship questions. First: does your child have an intimate close friendship — not just a good friend, but someone they trusts deeply, discloses to genuinely, and who knows them fully? A relationship with real vulnerability? Second: is your child navigating romantic relationships thoughtfully — not just experiencing them, but managing boundaries, communicating needs, handling conflict, and exiting relationships with dignity? Third: does your child have genuine autonomy — taking responsibility for their own choices, finances, commitments, and mistakes without deflecting to parents or others? Tell me.

    Watch for: Young adult has an intimate close friendship with genuine mutual disclosure

  3. 3~90s

    Two final questions about moral and societal development. First: does your child understand that laws and morality are separate systems — that something can be legal but wrong, or illegal but right? Can they reason about civil disobedience, unjust laws, or moral obligations that override legal ones? Second: does your child consider society-level perspectives — not just 'what's fair for me' or 'what's fair for my group', but 'what would be fair for everyone'? Can they think about systemic effects, structural inequality, or the experience of people very different from themselves? And finally: how would you describe your child's emotional maturity overall? Tell me.

    Watch for: Young adult distinguishes legal from moral and can reason about their relationship
