I hear a lot of parents complain about them, I read a lot about them and I think a lot about them: adolescents. A new research has proven that even after twenty years the brain continues to grow and is one big construction site. This explains why their behaviour is sometimes incongruent, impulsive, lacks concentration, irresponsible or just very annoying. They cannot help it, because they are simply unable to foresee the implications of their actions. This means parents can relax, it is not their fault. The adolescents just need a lot of sensible advice and a lot of positive stimulation by means of rewards for good behaviour. And even when your ado is lying in bed most of the weekend, he is working really hard in his/her head.
