Teen years are high-risk years, so…


Puberty and risk-taking behavior go hand in hand, brain-systems-wise, when the social-emotional brain (highly influenced by peers) interplays with the cognitive-control/impulse system. Minimizing teen risk behavior must include parental involvement: monitoring the child, building/modeling bonds to conventional values, developing competencies in the child and a connected parent-child relationship. Lots and lots of food for thought.
