Description
Anyone who has taught an adolescent knows how difficult this period is. Their impulsive and surprising behaviors have often been blamed on hormones and immaturity. However, stunning new research is overturning everything we believed and understood about how teenagers think. Pat goes inside the adolescent brain to unravel the mysteries, debunk the myths, and explain why they do the things they do.
