Adolescence

"Normalize letting children explore their emotions as they learn to navigate an ever-changing world."
This piece examines the complexity of teenage emotion - the in-between space where identity, vulnerability, and resistance coexist.
Too often, their pain is labeled as attitude, their questions mistaken for defiance. Adolescence invites us to look closer, to listen deeper, and to honor the emotional language of youth as they learn who they are becoming.
