The nurse reminds the parents of an adolescent that one of the developmental tasks of adolescence is detachment from parents. Parents can assist their teen with this process by:
a. Encouraging their teen to gain acceptance in a group of peers
b. Distancing themselves from the teen
c. Discouraging conformity with a peer group
d. Avoiding the use of family networking or community resources
A
Teens should be encouraged to gain acceptance in a peer group. Parents should not distance themselves from the teen, even if the teen does not seem to want their help. Discouraging a teen from conforming to a peer group will make detachment from parents difficult. Community resources and family networking are excellent sources of help.
