A Multidisciplinary Approach To Engaging With Adolescents

The principle of evolving capacities provides that at this stage, parents, guardians, and society raising children should wisely engage with adolescents, recognising their growing understanding of themselves, acknowledging not only their rights but also introducing the responsibilities that come with these rights.

It is a stage at which it is critical that there is recognition and identification of an adolescent, as their own being. Of course, an adolescent cannot be given free rein of their lives, to conduct themselves in any which way, as this will always lead to consequences that may, in some cases, be dire.
