If you're the parent of a teen, you may worry whether your child will:
- Avoid trouble and thrive during adolescence

You'll learn how to stimulate, encourage, support and protect your teen's brain during this crucial period of development.
You'll also learn about:
- The amazing power of the prefrontal cortex (PFC)
- How your child can develop the PFC
- Why this basic development has to happen during the teen years
- How to stimulate your teen to develop thinking skills
- How to help your teen protect the growing PFC
