Adultification refers to the process of a child taking on responsibilities and roles that are beyond their age or development level. Dropping out of school to take care of an ailing mother is a situation that requires a child to take on adult responsibilities, contributing to Dr. Williams' finding of adultification. The other options do not involve a situation where Kelly had to take on adult responsibilities.
