Parenting a moving target: understanding how young people’s lives are changing

How are young people’s lives changing, particularly in the digital age? Ann Hagell and John Coleman share insights from the Key Data on Adolescence report and look at changes currently impacting young people. Every two years, the Association for Young People’s Health (AYPH) publishes a compendium of publically available statistics about young people’s health, which provides a unique picture of their lives in the round. Ann is a chartered psychologist with a special interest in adolescence and research lead at the AYPH. John is the AYPH Chair, a clinical psychologist, and senior research fellow in the Department of Education at the University of Oxford.
