How the Teen Brain Works |
|
Is your teen on an emotional rollercoaster? Tears one moment, hugs the next? What’s a parent to do?
The Teenage Brain explores the latest research to help parents understand defiant teens – and how their minds actually work. New research shows that there are clear-cut, physical differences between an adult’s brain and a teenager’s brain – differences that explain typical “teen behavior.” When it comes to teenagers, you can never have enough parenting skills. The Teenage Brain offers the latest facts, tips from experts, advice from health practitioners, stories from teens themselves and much more.

It’s important for parents to understand how the brain works because the brain is incredibly responsive to experiences, and the kind of experiences that parents provide can actually shape the structure of the brain. |
