It’s an age-old question: why do teens behave the way they do? From mood swings to emotional outbursts, teenagers have confounded their parents, guardians, and family members for generations. In this accessible, even-handed guide, Dr. Ron Clavier provides insights into the teenaged mind from a neurological perspective, and seeks to explain the behaviors that are often associated with adolescence. Arguing that a clear understanding of the teenage brain will help parents to preserve the harmony at home, Dr. Clavier offers coping tips and strategies designed to ease tensions, improve communication, and set teenagers on the path toward a healthy life. A must for anyone with a teen in his or her life, this guide is an excellent resource for parents, teachers, and counselors.
