The Youth Years!

9-10 “Oh, you’re double digits”

​

12-13 “You’re a teenager now!”

​

15-16 “You can drive… legally.”

​

17-18 “You can officially go to jail!”

​

We tend to think that age magically causes an instant maturing. The reality is, the “youth years” are the approach to the sweet spot of the diving board that prepares for adulting.
