Synopsis

The NeuroWhereAbouts Guide puts at parents' fingertips the developmentally appropriate prevention science they need to set children up for success from elementary school to college. Filled with tools, activities, contracts and scripted talks for 18 high-risk behavior topics, such as alcohol, marijuana, technology overuse, vaping, pornography, body image issues, self-injury, suicide, dating violence, risky sexual behavior and more. The Guide gives parents the scientific basis for setting healthy boundaries and limits regarding the many risky situations faced by today's youth. This is the practical information parents, teachers and counselors need to be 'Brain-Savvy' - to know what healthy brain development looks like, how risky behaviors can derail that trajectory, and how to keep development on track. The NeuroWhereAbouts Guide is formatted in 'infographic style' for quick reference and accelerated learning with vibrant colors and lively graphics, making it fun to read for adults and maybe even youth!
