Parenting with the Teen Brain in Mind
Understanding your Child's Emotions, Relationships & Decisions
Dr. Tina Payne Bryson
In her genuine, practical, and humorous way, Dr. Bryson will take her knowledge of cutting edge science and help explain why teens and pre-teens act the way they do.
More importantly, she will show us the role that parents play in the development and construction of our children's brains, and, as a result, shaping their adult brains to be mentally healthy and ready for meaningful connections with others.
