Feeding The Mouth That Bites You: Parenting Teens Into Adulthood

Episode Summary

A lot of new research on teenagers' brains seems to suggest that parents need to protect them more than ever. How can parents give freedoms to a teenager with an underdeveloped frontal cortex? In this episode we take on the confusing issue of brain research that is both exciting and scary. What do we really know and what are we still guessing at? Got questions or feedback?
