As parents of a teenager, you may have found yourself asking this question....more than once. Teenagers are not known for their decision making abilities, their ability to use common sense and their ability to think of consequences before they act. These typical behaviors are trying for parents, educators, coaches and anyone who is trying to mold and shape the life of a teenager. This is also why we protect them (much to their dismay) from decision making and adult behaviors. We know that they are impetuous, spontaneous, larger than life and they have no fear. These traits will carry them fare wen facing the obstacles of the future but the same behaviors do little to protect them from harm. Teenagers are also intrigued by the outlawed. Meaning that if you tell them not to do something, that hanging out with a certain group of people or not to date a certain young man....well you have just invited a war. What makes adolescence so difficult? It is their maturing brains. They aren't adults yet, they aren't children and the in-between is very dangerous. This video outlines the developing brain of a juvenile in a very concise and clear manner. The good news? They will mature!
