What you will learn during this interview…
When facing contentious issues, teens often act out or shut down, responding with reactivity instead of receptivity. This is what New York Times bestselling author Dr. Dan Siegel, professor of psychiatry at the UCLA School of Medicine, calls a “No Brain” response. Kids who develop a “Yes Brain” are more curious and imaginative, willing to take chances and explore, and better at relationships and handling adversity…exactly the abilities every child needs to develop in order to reach their potential and mature into an independent, responsible adult. Join us for this exciting interview with Dr. Siegel to learn…
- The biggest misunderstandings about what is happening in adolescents’ brains during development (hint: it actually doesn’t have anything to do with hormones!)
- What is going on in teens’ brains, and why is this actually a great opportunity..for them and for us!
- The fundamental difference between a “Yes!” and “No” brain, and how parents can help their children shift into a more positive state of mind
- The importance of “mindsight, and how to support your teen’s ability to develop it
