Kara is probably in which stage of adulthood?
1 Answer
There are some differences in professional opinion on "adult stages", depending on the criteria used and subject matter. The given list implies a predominantly age-based criterion rather than other psychological development stages.
a) adolescence is right out, because there is little concern over the "biological clock" in that stage.
b) Young adulthood would be possible, but again, NOT with the stated concern over the child-bearing years. Career and family choices are often made here, but not usually with a constraint on "child-bearing years".
c) Most likely. While often used to describe women WITH children, it is just the point that someone in that stage without children, or even a husband would be worried about the timeline and job implications.
d) Definitely not. At this stage it is generally understood that a woman is already beyond her child-bearing years.
