Description

A clear-sighted, accessible look at the teenage mind, from a new perspective. What should I do when I find out that my 12-year-old daughter is having sex? What can I do when I find marijuana in my son's backpack and he tells me it's not an addictive drug? How should I react to my daughter piercing her tongue? Why is my child an underachiever? Anyone who interacts with adolescents-including parents, teachers, clinicians, social workers, and police-will benefit from reading Teen Brain, Teen Mind. Written by renowned psychologist Dr. Ron Clavier, Teen Brain, Teen Mind examines the neurological changes in the brain that underlie many of the emotions of young people.
