 The Impacts of One’s
Lesson
Family in his/her Personal
1 Development during Middle
and Late Adolescence

Our family is an integral part of our life. They witness most of the significant events that
happen in us. We have become the person that we are mainly because of their impact and influence.
We share a lot of commonalities with them. Our values, beliefs, and principles were dominantly shaped
by them.

In our previous lesson, we were able to discuss one by one, the different family structures and
how they affect the lives of the members in the family. In the Philippines, we strongly adhere to the
importance of our own family and how we should value each member of the family. For this week, let
us talk about how our “one family” would contribute to the person that we become most especially on
these crucial stages of Middle and Late Adolescence.

 What’s In

Adolescence is a significant developmental

phase along the path to adulthood, years during which
youth become increasingly independent from their
families. Yet parents and other family members still
play a critical role in the promotion of adolescents’ well-
being, by providing a positive support system within
which youth can explore their changing identity.

Achieving a pleasant relationship among the members of the family entails some efforts
and compromises. The following are some suggestions for the members of the family (What
does family mean to you? — Be Strong Families)
1. Parents need to be adaptive to the changing needs of their children. The unduly authoritative
approach may not be effective to today’s adolescents, especially those who have rebellious
tendencies. It would be better for parents to take more subtle, flexible, and dynamic approach.
There must be a balance between firmness and leniency.
The children, on the other hand, need to understand that parenthood, which includes
raising and supporting children in various aspects, is never an easy task. Children should
therefore be supportive to their parents by giving them due respect and by being reasonably
obedient to them.

2. In the case of adolescent children, parents need to accept the fact that they are no longer
‘children.’ The adolescents have the normal desire to establish their self-identify and to be
independent. Adolescents need to be treated as blossoming adults. On the other hand,
adolescents need to understand that when their parents are allowing them to build their self-
identity, they should not abuse their parents’ leniency. It must also be clear that practicing
independence does not necessarily entail defying the sound rules and regulations of the parents.
3. Parents need to learn the art of “letting go”. They should let their children discover themselves
and reach their dreams of themselves with a minimum amount of parental control. But the
children must learn to set limits to themselves. Even when their parents are allowing them to
explore life and experience things, they should still control themselves and set limitations.
4. Both the parents and children should set at least a day in a week (a ‘family day’) in which they
can spend quality time together and have time to discuss things. Communication is an important
part of any relationship. Being able to express feelings can ease the burden of stress for both
the adolescents and the parents.
5. Everybody in the family should serve as role model to one another. Parents should be the
paragon of decency and kindness in the family and the children should show respect,
consideration, and sensitivity towards the parents and all siblings.
6. The head of the family should set clear guidelines as to the acceptable and the improper
behaviors and lay down corresponding punishments for misbehaviors. All the members of the
family should be aware of the set rules and sanctions.

 Many people think that families become less important to children as they move into the
teenage years. But every growing teen needs a family and the support it offers as much as she/he did
when he/she was younger.
It’s true that family relationships change during adolescence. Most young people and their
families have some ups and downs during these years, but things usually improve by late adolescence
as children become more mature. And family relationships tend to stay strong right through.
For teenagers, parents and families are a source of care and emotional support. Families give
teenagers practical, financial and material help. And most teenagers still want to spend time with their
families, sharing ideas and having fun.
Here are some special tips on how to make the bond stronger within the family:
1. Family meals- it is important to have this as a part of your day. Make it a point that when you are in
this situation, all gadgets and other forms of distractions are absent. Be in that moment having
a good meal and conversation with your family.
2. Family outings- plan it out. Go out and enjoy each other’s company. It may not be from a very far
venue.
3. Celebration of accomplishments and milestones- the celebration doesn’t need to be lavish and over
the top. Celebrate each other’s accomplishments.
4. One-on-one time- it is extremely important to have a heart to heart talk with your parents. Yes, it
may feel awkward, but you have to try.
5. Family traditions- try your very best to participate on all of the traditions in the family. It may be a
gathering every holiday season or a celebration of your parent’s wedding anniversary. Having
These traditions vary from one family to another.
6. Household responsibilities- agreed household responsibilities give children and teenagers the sense
that they’re making an important contribution to family life. These could be things like chores,
shopping or helping older or younger members of the family.
7. Family rules- the rules should not be of draconian level. It might bring a feeling of uneasiness inside
The family. Simple rules like curfew and limiting the time of watching the TV or facing the
computer. Again, it varies from family to family.
