A propos de ce titre

Synopsis

With recent developments in digital communication, it seems today's teenagers are in for a more complicated journey than ever before. Even the most "in-touch" parents might throw their hands up in frustration at their teenager's behaviour and ask: what are they thinking?! Teenagers' thrill-seeking activities and quests for independence aren't just the result of raging hormones but rather effects of the structure and development of the adolescent brain. In easily navigable chapters, the authors draw from recent studies to illuminate the complexities of issues such as school, social networking and mental health in children whose crucial brain connections are just coming online.
