Summary:
"Beyond raging hormones and peer pressure -- why adolescents act the way they do and what parents and teachers can do about it. Revised and updated to address the issues facing kids today: social media, online bullying, prescription drug abuse, stress, and nutrition. The scientific, brain-based reasons behind teens' impulsive behavior, lack of focus, self-consciousness, territoriality, fatigue, and their quickness to anger and take risks -- to name just a few common teen problems. All these behaviors are linked to physical changes and growth in the adolescent brain. Current research into the adolescent brain, and guidance for parents and teens on navigating the new challenges of the 24/7 online world"--Provided by publisher.
