'Character development' has a literal sense from fiction (how a character grows over a story) and is now widely used about real life — describing personal growth, learning from mistakes, becoming a better version of yourself. 'This is my character development arc' is a self-aware way of saying 'I'm working on myself'. If your teen uses it, they are framing their own growth in storytelling terms. Healthy and self-aware.
