The new model emphasizes that the parents are important support systems and attachment figures. This is a shift from the old model which suggested that adolescents detach themselves from parents as they mature. The new model also recognizes that the adolescent-parent and adolescent-peer worlds are interconnected, rather than isolated, and that parent-adolescent conflict is not necessarily intense and stressful throughout adolescence.
