Growing up is inevitable. That's just in life, often there is a paradox – children want to be adults, adults-children. And how to understand who can be called an adult? What is the meaning of “adult”?

Who are the adults?

uncover the meaning of adult

When you say: “Expand the meaning of “adult”, many fall into a stupor, that, however, is obvious. After all, what is there to disclose a passport there? Is. The age has come? Come. Work there? Is. Summary: a grown person.

However, not so simple. Disclosure of meaning of the concept “adult” is much deeper. Adults can name the person who is willing to take responsibility. If the child is using such phrases as “want - not" that an adult would have long know the simple word “need”.

Adult – this is a man who has reached a certain age, has a Mature body and mind, has the knowledge and skills that help in decision-making, and is willing to take responsibility for their actions, their lives and the lives of his family.

Traits of an adult

Say expand the meaning of “adult” and will understand how to be people. But one term is not enough, more important are the traits of an adult.

  • Independent. An adult is able to independently take care of himself.
  • Confident. A man believes in himself not only externally but also internally.
  • Caring. An adult is able to take care of other people's lives. He has grown the circle of concerns, and he doesn't just know how to do it, but he wants to do and does freely. To care about someone – a voluntary choice of an adult, mentally balanced person.
  • Responsible and demanding. The person takes responsibility for their actions and requires a similar behaviour from the rest. Able to control their appetites, more drawn to the words “necessary” and “can”, not “want urgent”.
  • Psychologically sound. Able to constructively look at that impediment and to see the situation in full.
  • Mentally healthy. An adult is able to find in the life positive moments, calmly accepts criticism, does not feel unfounded fears and could keep my emotions under control.

Even when the response to the request “expand the meaning of “adult” has already been given, it does not mean that there will be information on how to become an adult. To reach a certain age and become an adult are two different things. And in order to be considered an adult, you must:

  • To be able to earn money. Let say, what not in money happiness, but it is the person's ability to earn money identificeret it as a Mature, adult personality.
  • To Become independent. If man cannot earn, so it will never become an independent person. The higher the financial independence, the more opportunities to make independent decisions.
  • To be Able to take care of others. An adult with a large range of concerns, he should be able to help other people, and it does not matter how he is able to do, experience, knowledge, skills or physical labor. A grown man needs to invest, to build and create, not only for the benefit of themselves.
  • To Be responsible. An adult is always responsible for their actions of time, money, forces, or emotions.
  • To be Able to control your emotions. To keep emotions in themselves bad, but to act on the first “want” is not Mature. An adult is always guided by reason. He seeks to pass on their knowledge and experience, and not only donated all teach.

Grow - not a problem, but becoming an adult is not everyone's strength. And when a person says “expand the meaning of “adult” and it shows the date of birth in the passport, we can safely say that it has grown. That's the only adult still did not. Does not matter how old he is, 30, 40 or all 80 for adults it is not.
