     M A T R E S C E N C E?





     Concept coined by Dana Raphael

     to explain that changes we go
     through as we become parents. It

     is like adolescence in several
     ways:


     • Hormonal changes

     • Different body


     • Shift in identity


     • Altered relationships

     Cast your mind back to those

     teenage years as you went from
     child to adult – except this time it

     happens in a moment!
