The Teen Brain. Life-Saving Recommendations from a Neurobiologist for Parents of Teenagers

How many times have we heard from friends, colleagues, and strangers about the crazy things their teenage children have done!
 
By studying the functioning of the teenage brain, neurobiologist Professor Frances E. Jensen has confirmed: during adolescence, the functioning of the... brain, its internal connections, and capabilities are not like those of an adult's brain. She also realized that the new science of the teenage brain is unfamiliar to most parents. And it is this audience that needs to learn about the teenage brain.
 
The author of the book has set herself the task of not only helping adults better understand their teenagers but also providing important recommendations for parents to coexist harmoniously with their children.
 
In this book, you will learn:
— at what age the teenage brain becomes that of an adult;
— whether there are objective reasons for teenage recklessness;
— why teenagers love to sleep in late;
— how to explain to a teenager why they should refrain from alcohol;
— when feeling down turns into depression that requires the attention of a psychiatrist;
— why stress is harmful for teenagers but inevitable;
— how teenage girls differ from teenage boys from the perspective of neuroscience.
