Think from KERA

Why adolescence looks different today


Listen Later

Adolescence looks a lot different from today’s parents or grandparents’ generations — and it’s beginning even earlier. Matt Richtel, health and science reporter at The New York Times, joins host Krys Boyd to discuss why kids today are more careful physically but need more help mentally, why they might be safer today but much less independent, and how parents can better relate during these developmental years. His book is “How We Grow Up: Understanding Adolescence.”
