The Primal Teen
What the New Discoveries About the Teenage Brain Tell Us About Our Kidsby Strauch, Barbara
Description:
Barbara Strauch, a journalist who specializes in health and medical reporting, presents recent scientific findings that provide a new explanation for the sometimes difficult to understand behavior of teenagers. Based on the research of neuroscientists who have discovered that the brain is still under development during adolescence, the author explains that it is this constant rewiring of the synapses that causes such things as mood swings, risky behavior, and uncharacteristic responses and reactions to situations. Also included is information on how parents can use these scientific findings to establish better, saner, and closer relationships with their teenage children.
