The Guidance Gap
Where does a young person look for guidance?
Parents and teachers are great places to start, but there are limits built into those relationships. Some topics can be difficult. Families and schools come with expectations and rules that don't always make sense to young people. Where parent-teacher guidance is unsuccessful, a young person is left to fill in the gaps.
Peers often fill the void, as they have for centuries. There is nothing new about this process. What is different today is that the world is supercharged by the internet. That means endless, difficult to navigate information as the backdrop for adolescence.
On one side, "adults" and on the other side, "friends and the internet." Between these two worlds is a guidance gap.
Today's stepping stones from child to adulthood are specialized solutions — an online course, a sports team, a tutor, an after school club.
These precision solutions offer precise outcomes, but the guidance gap is broad.
