Failure to Launch, 13 Going on 30 & Adolescent Rituals


Listen Later

In this episode, I’ll be breaking down the “launching” life cycle stage experienced by families with children. To do this, I’ll be exploring the themes and characters portrayed in the 2004 film 13 Going On 30. McGoldrick and colleagues (2015) note that “Adolescents are more prone to take risks than adults because the hormones that signal seeking pleasure are at their height of intensity. The lag between physical, sexual, and mental development explains some of the erratic behavior and poor judgment that characterize many adolescents and that frighten adults” (p. 305).


SPOILER ALERT for anyone who has not seen this movie (as I will be discussing specific moments in the film). Also, my utilization of this film is not an endorsement of its content nor its themes.
