Review: Great Book - Great book! As a high school teacher and coach this helped me understand the students I work with better!
Review: A Must-Read for ALL Parents and Teachers!!! - The Teenage Brain by Frances E. Jensen is a rollercoaster read. My emotions were all over the place. As a mom to a 10-year-old, I can honestly say I feel overwhelmed by what is to come. And. if I'm honest, what is already here. I highly recommend this book to parents with kids of ALL ages. In fact, if you are a parent of young kids, get this book immediately so you are better prepared for what your kids will go through as teens. I appreciate the scientific explanations behind all the things happening in teen brains. I really like how Jensen, a scientist, writes this book in a manner that is wholly accessible to parents of all ages, backgrounds, and education levels. This book makes sense even when it's discussing technical science and physiology. The info in this book will stick with me LONG after having read the final page. I do recommend purchasing a physical copy of this book so you can take notes and mark pages. You will definitely want to come back to this book as your kids grow and mature. Overall, this is a truly excellent text. One I think all parents AND teachers must read. I purchased a physical copy of this book via desertcart.com on May 1, 2022, in order to read and review. In no way has this influenced my review. The opinions expressed in this review are my own.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Much needed explanations of transformations in the brain in teenagers, could have provided more on differences between teenagers
*by S***V on August 1, 2016*

Very good explanation of processes accompanying the development of a teenager from an expert in the field. Well written, easy to understand. Appropriate examples provided for illustration. In addition to details about the development of the brain, covers most topics around the subject such as drug abuse, juvenile crime, and others. The main shortcoming in this reader's opinion is that it treats teenagers as one monolithic body of people, and describes every one on the same basis. The differences between teenagers going through the same journey are not explained. All humans go through the teenage years. Some find it difficult, some really suffer and develop mental health problems, and others skate through with relative ease. The causes of these differences and how to address them are not provided any coverage. This is what would be of most importance to the target audience of such a book. Also, the book is light on what to do in case of trouble, which is understandable given its main focus. The interested parent would like to know what to do in case of trouble, in situations that require more than an understanding parent, a receptive ear, and genuine concern, especially in cases where the teenager is beyond the stage when he or she is interested in having a conversation with the parent without it degenerating into major arguments and worse. But overall, a very good contribution to the field.
