Louise Phipps Senft Presents “Understanding the Teenage Brain” at Roland Park Country School Kaleidoscope Program, Baltimore, MD

October 16, 2012 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm
$30
UNDERSTANDING THE TEENAGE BRAIN Did you know there are neurological aspects to explaining teenage behavior? What are they thinking? Who is to blame? What can parents do to discipline their teenage children or to explain that what they are doing is unacceptable? How can you, as a parent, make yourself understood? Come learn about the why’s related to the intensity of emotions, impulsiveness and lack of making good decisions. We’ve all been there. We know how it feels to be a teenager: to want to go out, play games, meet girls/boys, punch a wall, tell a lie, skip class, go to a party. But we all think we had somewhat of a limit. Our parents taught us well, but we can’t seem to be able to do the same with our own teenage children. This class will provide answers to your questions and provide you with tips on how to improve your relationship with your teenage child. Learn to better understand the teenage brain and gain insight into how the adolescent brain works, in order to understand teenage behavior. The ultimate goal: to assist struggling parents and provide specific handson tips on how to handle adversity and reach meaningful, informed decisions that will positively shift the conflict interaction toward a more transformational experience, where both parents and children feel more confident in themselves and in each other. More information available here.
