Chapter 14: Emotional and Social Development in Early Adulthood.
In this chapter, we take up the emotional and social sides of early adulthood. Not until their mid-to late twenties did they make lasting career and romantic choices and attain full economic independence - makers of adulthood that young people of previous generations reached considerably earlier. This will revel that identity, love, and work are intertwined.
1. One significant learning I wanted to mention for this chapter is "Close Relationships." To establish an intimate tie to another person, people must find a partner and build a lasting emotional bond. Although young adults are especially concerned with romantic love, the need for intimacy can also be satisfied through other relationships involving mutual commitment -- with friends, siblings, and co-workers. The one I wanted to talk about under this section is "friendships." This is the time when early adulthood children, tend to select their friendships and are picky of who they want to be friends with. In early years, friends in adulthood enhance self-esteem through affirmation and acceptance and provide support in times of stress. This is the stage where children are easily influenced with their peers.
2. Having some kind of friendship during this stage/age, is important because this is where children choose who they want to be friends with. This is the start of the knowledge with trust, intimacy, and loyalty. Sharing thoughts and feelings is sometimes greater in friendship than in marriage, although commitment is less strong as friends come and go over the life course. Since, friends do come and go in this stage I wanted to talk about my experience in my middle school years. There was a point during middle school where I had no friends because I was insecure in talking to people. I didn't find anyone to talk to because I was afraid that my peers will not like me as a person. But, that wasn't the case. I was a very shy student because I just didn't know how to talk to people. But, that once I join the sport of basketball, I became a new person. I was more willing to talk to my peers because it was so easy to get along with my basketball group mates. So, I applied that trait to other people outside the sport I am in, so things just started to fall into place. As an early childhood education major, I will be willingly understanding to the behaviors all my students are experiencing.
