How we grow up : understanding adolescence
The transition from childhood to adulthood is a natural, evolution-honed cycle that now faces radical change and challenge. The adolescent brain, sculpted for this transition over eons of evolution, confronts a modern world that creates so much social pressure as to regularly exceed the capacities of the evolving mind. The problem comes as a bombardment of screen-based information pelts the brain just as adolescence is undergoing a second key change: puberty is hitting earlier. The result is a neurological mismatch between an ultra-potent environment and a still-maturing brain that can lead to anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges. It's a crisis that's part of modern life but can only be truly grasped through a broad, grounded lens of the biology of adolescence itself. Richtel shows us how adolescents can understand themselves, and parents and educators can better help.
