Individuals and their families are no exception. Each person goes through a growth and aging process that begins at birth and continues through childhood, adolescence and adulthood.
Families also experience change.
Many factors influence changes within families, including birth, death, marriage, divorce, job change, relocation and illness. Students must understand that change is a part of life. Some changes are happily anticipated and require little adjustment. Other changes create challenges that require considerable adjustment. Many school and community resources help individuals and families who are experiencing difficult changes.
