Adolescence Again – Your Thoughts on “Middlescence?”

Steve Paquet — Sat, 28 Feb 2009 01:47:40 +0000

Remember those adolescent years? Some of you may wish you return there again. Others may say, “No way!” When we reach our middle years, some suggest we go through a second adolescence called “middlescence.”

In the first adolescent phase, we had to deal with the challenges of moving into adult life and planning for our future. In the second, we consider our future as an aging person, and don’t forget the AARP membership invitation that arrives around your 50th birthday which helps to remind you!

I’m curious to hear your thoughts about going through middlescence. What did you experience? How did you get through it? For those about to enter this period, what are you anticipating about this phase of life?

From a mature marketer’s perspective, what do you see as the opportunities to serve others through this life course transition?

Subject: Re: Welcome to the Group! Hi Tom — I actually could use your help today. I’m putting the finishing touches on a book to be published by Human Kinetics focused on programming/marketing recreation services to baby boomers. Co author is Lynda Cochrane (SUNY Brockport). If you/the group members would like show-off their knowledge I would love to get some “quotes” or expert insights to include in the final chapter of the book, which focuses on the recreational leisure future, as it pertains to baby boomers. So, if you/the members can look into their crystal ball and answer this:

What trends do you think will most impact the way baby boomers spend their leisure or recreational time in the next two to three decades?

For those who are programming public recreation/parks/”senior” centers/etc. — what advice can you offer that will help them meet the needs of baby boomers now and as they retire/age/change over the next 10 – 30 years? Any resources/references would be appreciated and, of course, you and your contact info will be included in the book’s reference section.

Thanks a bunch!
