From the "Failure to Launch" to "Helicopter Parents," research on young adults reveals that media messages do not tell the story about the 18 - 25 year old population. Developmental psychologists, sociologists, demographers and public policy professionals are helping all of us understand the special needs of those at this important developmental stage. What are the unique concerns of emerging adults? What does the latest research show? How does public policy meet-or fail to meet- their needs? How can family professionals help families through this transition? In this issue of NCFR Report, NCFR experts examine these and other questions.
