After reading this book, I gained such insight of what I went through and what the people I work through are going through. After, I felt more empowered and gained understanding of how to relate and address with my kids, friends, and community members.
Description from the website:
"Between the ages of 12 and 24, the brain changes in important, and oftentimes maddening, ways. It's no wonder that many parents approach their child's adolescence with fear and trepidation. According to renowned neuropsychiatrist Daniel Siegel, however, if parents and teens can work together to form a deeper understanding of the brain science behind all the tumult, they will be able to turn conflict into connection and form a deeper understanding of one another.
In Brainstorm, Siegel illuminates how brain development impacts teenagers' behavior and relationships. Drawing on important new research in the field of interpersonal neurobiology, he explores exciting ways in which understanding how the teenage brain functions can help parents make what is in fact an incredibly positive period of growth, change, and experimentation in their children's lives less lonely and distressing on both sides of the generational divide."
It has been a primary reference I use during professional education in order to build empathy for our learners developmental stages and conduct role plays of effective practices. It is also very useful to utilize during parent academy, as it helps with consistent practices of supportive methods.
