Children mature into adolescents earlier than in the past.  Consequently, the age span of adolescence has elongated.  Learn why and how this affects their brain development and risk-taking behaviors. Discover and discuss best practices for addressing common teen behaviors to offer valuable insights and strategies for parents, educators, and caregivers seeking effective ways to understand and manage the challenges often associated with adolescence.

This comprehensive lecture provides practical advice and evidence-based recommendations to navigate common behavioral issues that teenagers frequently exhibit.
