With writing and audio from a collection of collaborators including: Adam Kay - Alastair Campbell - Alexis Caught - Ben Platt - Bryony Gordon. Teenagers and their parents will find much to fascinate them in this updated edition of Nicola Morgan’s skilful, non-scientists explanation of the complex and specific science that makes teenagehood such a specific period of growing up.

Morgan has a gift for simplifying and explaining complicated subject matter with a light but precise touch, and she is careful to distinguish between established facts and theories and speculations of her own and other people's. And I explain it in the context of the human drive to being social and making connections with other humans. They are more likely to lean on their amygdala (the home of the gut instinct) rather than the pre-frontal cortex (home of executive function) that adults tend to use. This book was recommended to me on separate occasions by a couple of experts on mental health so I decided to read it.Highly recommended for parents who’re interested to know what’s actually happening in their teen’s brain. Next week is Children’s Mental Health Week so I’ll be focusing on that, answering a question from a blog-reader, Alex, who asked for strategies to help young people feeling anxious/panicky or low but without knowing quite why; and I’ll also tackle panic attacks. Each section includes a case study, a description of what’s going on in the teenage brain, some theories of why the teenage brain might work the way it does, some useful facts and hints to help teenagers and parents survive this stage, and a quiz or activity to do.

I hope these three videos and models help you to understand this complex topic better and also to assist in the vital role of telling others. This book helps teens understand how their brains are contributing to their equally exciting and frustrating experiences, while allowing parents and carers to get a deeper understanding into what happened to their dear sweet babies who have turned into rather less knowable and often more difficult progeny.
