Overview

Middle adulthood is a time of both stability and change. Some may launch children into adulthood, care for aging parents, become grandparents, develop career stability, burnout, or retirement, maintain marriages or experience divorces. Late adulthood may bring challenges of changing living arrangements as physical needs emerge, changes in relationships with adult children, adjustment to retirement, and the challenges of keeping active and successful aging.
