The Parents' Manual to the Teenage Brain
The Leonard Lopate Show | Feb 10, 2015
Neurologist Frances E. Jensen looks at the science of the adolescent brain, and provides insights that translate into practical advice for both parents and teenagers in The Teenage Brain: A Neuroscientist's Survival Guide to Raising Adolescents and Young Adults. The teen years encompass vitally important stages of brain development, and Dr. Jensen's book explores the research in adolescent brain functioning and development in the contexts of learning and multitasking, stress and memory, sleep, addiction, and decision-making.
