Parentification
Assess whether you were parentified during your childhood
About this test
Parentification occurs when a child is led to take on a parental role within their family. This test evaluates the four key dimensions of this phenomenon: early emotional responsibility, role reversal, forced maturity, and the impact on your adult life. Understanding this mechanism will help you better grasp some of your current relational patterns. Parentification is often invisible but its consequences can be profound and lasting.
Dimensions assessed
- ●Emotional Responsibility- The degree to which you had to manage the emotions and emotional well-being of your parents or your family.
- ●Role Reversal- The extent to which you took on parental responsibilities inappropriate for your age.
- ●Premature Maturity- The premature development of emotional and behavioral maturity at the expense of your childhood.
- ●Impact on Adult Life- The current consequences of parentification on your relationships, self-esteem, and well-being.
