The Teenage Brain

A Neuroscientist's Survival Guide to Raising Adolescents and Young Adults

Beschreibung

Why is it that the behaviour of teenagers can be so odd? As they grow older, young children steadily improve their sense of how to behave, and then all of a sudden, they can become totally uncommunicative, wildly emotional and completely unpredictable.

Rezensionen

"At moments of extreme exasperation, parents may think that there's something wrong with their teenagers' brains. Which, according to recent books on adolescence, there is.... [Jensen] offers a parenting guide laced with the latest MRI studies.... Packed with charts and statistics." Elizabeth Kolbert, The New Yorker
