This paper explores the issue of adolescent crises within Christian homes and the potential pastoral care responses. It acknowledges adolescents’ challenges and changes, including physical, psychological, and emotional development. The paper discusses the role of parents and the influence of peers in adolescents’ identity development and potential crises. It specifically addresses Erikson’s theory of psychosocial development and its relevance to adolescent identity versus identity confusion. The paper seeks to identify pastoral care interventions to minimise and address adolescent crises within Christian families.
