Emotional Development…

Emotional development is fairly complicated in early adulthood

In the early stages, some choose to find a life long partner, settle and have children. However everyone has different experiences of early adulthood

and will go through different things.

Others are happy without a partner and choose not to have children.

Adult are expected to be emotionally mature with a developed sense of moral awareness (right and wrong)

Later on: some may face divorce, increasing work pressures, financial worries, parenthood and the loss of elderly parents, which can have

an effect on emotional development.
