Why Do They Act
That Way?
A Survival Guide to the Adolescent Brain
|
Adolescence has been described as a "normally
abnormal stage of life." This workshop, based
on Dr. David Walsh's best selling book, Why
Do They Act That Way? A Survival Guide to the
Adolescent Brain for You and Your Teen explains
exactly what happens to the adolescent brain on
the path from childhood into adulthood.
Our speakers show why moodiness, quickness to
anger, willingness to take risks, miscommunication
and other familiar teenage behavior are so common
- all are linked to physical changes and growth
in the adolescent brain. This workshop goes beyond
the well-known issues of hormones and peer pressure.
We will touch on the powerful role of media in
teenagers' lives and show concerned adults how
to use this information to understand, communicate
with, and stay connected to youth. |
