"An internationally respected neurologist offers a revolutionary look at the brains of adolescents, providing surprising insights--including why smart kids often do stupid things--and practical advice for adults and teens.In this groundbreaking, accessible book, Dr. Frances E. Jensen, a mother, teacher, researcher, and internationally known expert in neurology, introduces us to the mystery and magic of the teen brain. One of the first books to focus exclusively on the neurological development of adolescents, The Teenage Brain presents new findings, dispels widespread myths, and provides practical suggestions for negotiating this difficult and dynamic life stage for both adults and adolescents.Interweaving easy-to-follow scientific data with anecdotes drawn from her experiences as a parent, clinician, and public speaker, Dr. Jensen explores adolescent brain functioning and development, including learning and memory, and investigates the impact of influences such as drugs, multitasking, sleep, and stress. The Teenage Brain reveals how: Adolescents may not be as resilient to the effects of drugs as we previously thought. Occasional use of marijuana has been shown to cause lingering memory problems, and long-term use can affect later adulthood I.Q. Multi-tasking causes divided attention and can reduce learning ability. Emotionally stressful situations in adolescence can have permanent effects on mental health, and may lead to higher risk for certain neuropsychiatric disorders such as depression. Rigorous yet accessible, warm yet direct, The Teenage Brain sheds new light on young adults, and provides practical suggestions for how parents, schools, and even the legal system can better help them during this crucial period"-- "Renowned neurologist Dr. Frances E.

Good information, too bad that many of the examples are about teens who attend private schools or Ivy League colleges. ( )

I wish I could have liked it a bit more, and the beginning was good, but some chapters just didn't apply to me and my children, such as drug usage, concussion, etc. There are parts of the books that I wanted to skip forward, but I wasn't sure if I may miss something important among the long stories to make her point. Not bad, but could have been better. ( )

neuroscience (teen brains). I think I wanted more of a direct: This is what you should know, this is how you should approach this. I think that info is probably in here somewhere, but the writing style is more of a conversational, this is why I decided I would write this book, etc. and this is the basic crash course in neuroscience, etc. and I didn't have patience to get to the rest.

This was a very interesting and easy to read book. I love brain stuff because it is just so interesting but if you have never read anything about the human brain this a great book to start with. Jensen and Nutt make this so accessible, interesting, and informative. They explain terms, tests, and give picture with the information so that the reader can see and understand what they are writing about. This could have been a very difficult read but I think that Nutt helped make it very readable. Jensen has decades of working with children and adolescents to backup her data. Nutt is a writer for Scientific American. The chapters are broken up by the things that teens and young adults could get into that would affect their brains. Reading about what growing up in an environment with smoking or drinking or abuse does to the brain was both interesting and frightening. Seeing the brains of people who had that versus the ones that did not was very eye-opening. If you know anything about brain science you will enjoy this book like I did. The author's also include some history about how children, adolescents, and young adults have been seen by society.

I give this book a Five out of Five stars. I was given this book for free in exchange for an honest review. ( )

This should be required reading for anyone who parents or teaches a teenager – and for teenagers themselves to better understand the “science” behind their decision making processes. I like that author is both a neuroscientist who understands brain development, and a parent who has experienced the sometimes perplexing behaviours of teenagers. ( )

It’s charming to see good science translate directly into good parenting, whether or not the results can be broadly replicated.
 
In what amounts to a kind of parental study aid or crib sheet on teenagers, Jensen explains that teens are not an “alien species”; rather, they are a misunderstood one. While they have the same amount of hormones as young adults, they react very differently to them, making their brains capable of remarkable accomplishments, but also so open that they become at risk.

This book is dedicated to my two sons, Andrew and Will. Watching them grown into young men as they emerged through their teen years has been the joy of my life, and shepherding them through this time was probably the most important job of my life. Together we went on a journey, and as much as I taught them, they taught me. The product is this book, and I hope that it informs not only those people helping to raise adolescents, but also the teenagers themselves.
