Dr. Frances E. Jensen is uniquely positioned to explain the workings of the teen brain to readers. As the chair of neurology at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, she also brings the perspectives of a mother, teacher, researcher, and clinician. Her frequent lectures to parents and teens highlight her commitment to bridging scientific understanding with practical insights into adolescent brain development. This dual expertise offers readers a valuable look into the neurological landscape of adolescence.
Why is it that the behaviour of teenagers can be so odd? As they grow older, young children steadily improve their sense of how to behave, and then all of a sudden, they can become totally uncommunicative, wildly emotional and completely unpredictable.
