The Teenage Brain: A Neuroscientist's Survival Guide to Raising Adolescents and Young Adults by Amy Ellis Nutt, Frances E. Jensen

4.0

Great read for anyone with teenagers. Basically their brains handle so much (emotions, stressors, alcohol, drugs, experiences, concussions) differently than adults! Really good to understand these highly emotional, smart yet sometimes scatter brained teens we live with now. This gives me more empathy for my teenagers while also reinforcing my opinion that drug use including alcohol is a very bad idea for teen brains to be exposed to. Would recommend to all parents of teens and even teens themselves to better understand how their brains function during these vitals years.
