Description
The Teenage Brain: A Neuroscientist's Survival Guide to Raising Adolescents and Young Adults by Frances E. Jensen and Amy Ellis Nutt. The behaviour of teenagers can be puzzling, with young children steadily improving their sense of behaviour and then becoming uncommunicative, emotional and unpredictable. Modern neuroscience reveals that this isn't due to a surge in hormones, but rather a complex process involving the brain. The Teenage Brain explores the new discoveries that show how the brain dictates teenagers' behaviour and how experiences during this period shape attitudes and happiness in later life. The brain doesn't stop developing until the mid-twenties, and its development is wired in a unique way. This creates problems, such as addiction being a form of learning. Professor Frances Jensen offers both exciting science and practical suggestions for how parents, teens and schools can help teenagers navigate the challenges of adolescence and get the most out of their brains.
