- Just as physical growth can be interrupted by disease or lack of nutrients, developmental tasks can be interrupted by other events.
- Most teens get through these developmental tasks pretty much on schedule and become mature adults. There are however, events that may happen in life of a teen that can delay or interrupt these processes.
- Normal development is interrupted when one of these events happens because all energies are focused on the interruption and not on the developmental task.Example: If a teen must cope with a traumatic even such as the death of a family member, all his/her energies are used trying to understand and deal with that loss.
- The recovery may take quite a long time. But once the developmental process has past normal development is regained After the trauma that interrupts the developmental process has passed.
- When the initial grief begins to lessen and life begins to move forward, then the teen can return to normal activities that allow for normal development.Going back to school, seeing friends socially, playing on sports teams etc.
