Identity and Belonging in Adolescence

青春期的身份认同与归属感

Description

Understand that adolescence involves active construction of identity, leading to emotional complexity around questions of 'who am I?'; explore the emotional dynamics of belonging to multiple groups simultaneously (family, peer group, cultural or religious identity); understand social comparison and its intensification through social media; recognise that identity is not fixed and that uncertainty about identity is normal, not a sign of failure; develop language for navigating emotions tied to group membership and personal values

Assessment Prompt

If your child goes through a phase of feeling unsure about who they are or where they belong, can they explain why this kind of uncertainty is a completely normal and even necessary part of adolescence — not a sign that something is wrong?
