I can see, from my parental perspective, the value of his reaching out for the perspective of broader experience and whether from me or older friends. However, from a generational perspective, I can also see this as new stage in the articulation of the developmental process. Adolescence was "born" in the latency period that developed with the boomers between puberty and taking on adult roles and responsibilities. With increasing % of the population going to and thru high school and then college this latency period grew as did the lifestles associated with it, around it and from it. <br />In the same way, we baby boomers are now experiencing a latency period between "retirement" and the need to plan the anticipated 15-20 years we can expect going forward. <br />So I guess it is no surprise, that the milenials, our boomer kids are also experiencing an extension of latency from college graduation to internships, consideration of grad schools, etc.<br />Perhaps you'll consider a blog on millenial management from a boomer perspective?Elyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12258068488407383398noreply@blogger.com
