Understanding the Teenage Brain

Teenagers and parents often struggle to connect due to the significant age and experience gap. The teenage brain is like a work in progress, making it challenging for teens to express their emotions. By focusing on helping teenagers understand their feelings and needs, communication barriers can be overcome. By identifying and addressing autonomy as a key factor in a teenager's life, more choice and control can be offered, leading to improved emotional understanding and resilience.
