Shifting social norms and their impact on emerging adulthood

We sit down with Eleanor Menzin, a pediatrician, to explore the changing landscape of young adulthood. Join us as we delve into the shifting social norms, technology's impact on parent-child relationships, and the evolving understanding of brain maturation—all of which challenge traditional notions of when young adults are ready to transition from pediatric to adult care. Discover how redefining this milestone can better align with cognitive age and life stage, ensuring that young adults receive the health care they need while navigating the intricate journey to adulthood.
