Family with adolescents
Leaving Home
Pretending stage

The correct answer is: Family with adolescents

After the family has young children, the next expected stage in the family life cycle is typically the family with adolescents. In this stage, children transition from early childhood into adolescence, which often brings about significant changes in the family dynamics, parenting styles, and the relationships between parents and their children. Families begin to navigate the challenges and adjustments that come with raising teenagers, including fostering independence while providing necessary support. This stage is characterized by a shift in priorities and activities, as parents may need to address new concerns related to education, peer relationships, and the developmental needs of their growing adolescents. Understanding this progression in the family life cycle is crucial for social work practitioners, as interventions and support strategies can be tailored to meet the unique needs of families navigating this transition.
