Adolescence is universally
recognized as a trying time for parents and children. But new brain
research suggests this period of immature and often reckless behavior is
more than just a stage for parents and teens to endure. It is a vital
time for adolescents to chart the course for the adults they will
ultimately become. One brain researcher points out that it is during our
teen years that we learn how to navigate the world outside the safety
of home, how to connect deeply with others and how to safely take risks.
He says that by understanding how the brain functions, teens can
improve their own lives and those of their parents. Diane and her
guests discuss the power and purpose of the teenage brain.
