Abstract

Adolescence is a developmental stage with rapid, and dynamic, biological and social changes in an individual. These changes add to the vulnerabilities for mental health morbidity. Adolescents today live and grow at the center of a layered, globalized, hyper-connected world where proximate and distal environments constantly influence each other. Parenting is part of the most proximate of the environmental layers, and is purported to have a protective and supportive role for adolescents. This editorial reflects upon challenges in parenting adolescents, and the need for nuanced re-examinations of the role of parenting in today’s globalized, hyper-connected, yet isolating, constantly changing environments.
