Better Brain, Better You

#70: 7 secrets of the teenage brain

Listen Later

The transition from childhood through adolescence to adulthood is not an easy journey for teenagers or parents. Learning how the teenage brain operates can really help parents to understand a teenager’s mood and behaviour. So I want to share 7 things you should know about a teenager’s brain to empower you as a parent and help your teenager on their journey through adolescence.

In this episode, you’re going to learn:

  • Why a teenager is biologically programmed to strive for independence, take risks and sleep more than you do as an adult
  • Even though a teen looks like and adult, it doesn’t mean their brain works the same way
  • How you can help a teenager’s rapidly developing brain by supporting the right behaviours
