The Teenage Brain – Decoding the Text Generation
Puberty: The Re-Wiring Of The Brain
The amount of growth that is seen in the teenage brain is only comparable with what is seen in the brain of a child. This growth explosion is like a "full service" with new spark plugs, oil changes and rewiring of the electricals. It is a work in progress – and they act like it!
Millions of brain cells "is used or lost," and those who used to be to continue to grow in the so-called circumcision process. The gray matter of the brain also beginsincreased and thus a higher degree of maturity, earlier for girls, and much, much later for boys.
High Risk Thinking
Due to various chemicals (dopamine and melatonin) that are emitted as reflected in the growing brain of a teenager, she just can not seem to understand the risk that they are more likely to thrive in this age.
Would you like the things that keep you and I never do understand, so do keep an eye and help them to better assess the risks they take.
ParentsCaution – and there be a driving force

One of the hallmarks of your teen is that she, as if the only way to resolve the feeling of a situation. This myopia often leads to the unpleasant habit of lying – often completely unnecessary!
In Short

Was not signed – judgmental
Before you respond to their thoughtless behavior, throw back your thoughts on the things that you have – and even more the things that you came with me! If you do not have a responsible adult with a decent life, you can believe that they too can become one.
Be a mentor to them, and Model Good Behavior
I know the wordgoes ", as I do not say, like me," but at this point in their lives, it is important that your word is integrity. You will learn by seeing to do so, at least they do not hear most of what you say, anyway!
Sometimes Just Let Them Sleep
There are a lot of growth going in this time and, just as with babies, the body compensates with an increased amount of sleep. Believe me, they are being not only lazy, they need the extra sleep.
REPETITION is the key!
Say it asoften as they need to hear it ..
Last nugget!
Gray matter increases gradually in the brain of your child. This will ultimately adopt a mature and logical thinking – as a heart parents! You (and your teen is) look back on this and smile. In the meantime, you might often want to them: "What did you think I say?"
Research shows they were not easy …….
