Relationship Development
Disease Information
Overview
Relationship development is often cemented when your child enters adolescence.
It's only natural that your family dynamic will shift as your child seeks increased autonomy.
Your child's attention will segue to a more intense focus on social interactions and friendships expanding from same-sex friends to same-sex groups of friends to heterosexual groups of friends. Sexual maturity marks the need to reorganize friendships again, to include an increased interest in sexual relationships and dating.
