The teenage years can be a challenging time for young people, as they adapt to significant physical, hormonal and psychological changes. It can also be a difficult period for parents, who want to support their children but may find themselves dealing with behaviours that feel hard to understand or manage.
Over the past ten years, the teenage brain has been the focus of growing research by neuroscientists. These findings are helping to challenge some long-held assumptions about adolescence and shed new light on why teenagers behave the way they do.
In this session, we’ll explore what this research tells us about the teenage brain and how it can help parents better understand teenage behaviour. We’ll also look at practical ways this knowledge can support more confident, compassionate responses at home.
The session will also outline the support available to parents and teenagers through Bank Workers Charity, alongside other trusted sources of information and help.
