“Let’s get something straight right from the start: Parenting teenagers is a tough business. You want to protect your kids and help them, but you don’t understand them. What goes on in their brains is beyond you.” – Dr. Ron Clavier

Why do teens act the way they do? Dr. Ron Clavier explains that neurological changes in a young person’s developing brain underlie many of the emotions and behaviours that can make teens so unpredictable and volatile.

With a healthy dose of humour, Clavier argues that a clear understanding of the teenage brain is the key to unlocking the mysteries of why teens act and think the way they do. Along the way, he offers numerous coping tips and strategies designed to ease tensions and improve communications.
