Teenage Brainstorm
Sunday 20 April 2014
All in the Mind | Lynne Malcolm
When you’re a teenager, life is on fire, wildly exciting with limitless possibilities. It can also be overwhelming and dangerous. In the past raging hormones have been blamed – but we’re now learning that it’s down to the very particular and important way that the adolescent brain develops. Professor Dan Siegel has researched the brain and emotional development of children and now he focuses on the emerging adolescent mind during the years between 12 and 24. With a new understanding of the science and purpose behind this stage of development he suggests ways for young people to capture the positive essence of adolescence, based on mindful awareness techniques.
