Why do teenagers stay up late and struggle to get up in the morning? Do teenagers really take more risks? What is happening with teenagers’ hormones?
The Psychology of the Teenage Brain offers all those involved in teenagers’ lives insight into what’s happening in their brains and how understanding them can improve relationships and communication at this crucial stage. It explains key topics, including the way the brain changes during adolescence, the role of hormones, and what we really know about risk and resilience, sleep and peer pressure. It challenges the stereotype of the ''snowflake generation'' and explores young people’s mental health.
Written for all parents and caregivers, this book will help with the challenges of having a teenager in the home. It also offers crucial understanding for all students and practising professionals in the fields of social work, counselling, health and education who work with teenagers.
