“Negotiating the adolescent stage is neither quick nor easy. . . . I have often said to parents, "If it isn't illegal, immoral, orfattening, give it your blessing." We do much better . . . if we find and support all the places we can appropriately say yes, and say only the no's that really matter.” IfsGivingSaidMatterEasyParentSupportStageBlessingIllegalAdolescenceImmoralNegotiating Author:Virginia Satir

“I feel that adolescence has served its purpose when a person arrives at adulthood with a strong sense of self-esteem, the ability to relate intimately, to communicate congruently, to take responsibility, and to take risks. The end of adolescence is the beginning of adulthood. What hasn't been finished then will have to be finished later.” FeelsPersonsEndsSelfPurposeStrongAbilityResponsibilityRiskSelf EsteemCommunicateFinishedEsteemRelateAdulthoodAdolescenceTaking ResponsibilitySense Of SelfStrong Sense Of Self Author:Virginia Satir
