Early adolescence (ages 11–14 years) occurs at the time most parents are in middle adulthood. The tasks of both early adolescent and middle adulthood stages are numerous and complex. As a societal unit, the family is challenged to meet one another's needs for cohesion, adaptability, and satisfaction. Family communication and the family's ability to resolve conflicts are proposed as facilitating factors to meet these challenges.
