The BLOG is back

Hello All!
After a long brain blog break, I'm back and ready to write.  A great deal of things have been happening with our adolescents.  New research continues to be published.  Headlines continue to highlight the good, the bad and crazy adventures of today's teens.  Plus, I continue to think of new ways to bring the best practices for healthy adolescent brain development to every day living.  In sum, there is so much going on that I don't want to miss sharing any of it with you!

To kick off the year (even though January is half over),tomorrow I am going to start a short series on the basics of adolescent brain development.  It will provide a summary for those that need a refresher course or are new to the topic. 

In February, I will be starting a series regarding the brain on love.  What parts of the brain are kicking in when we feel love for someone we care about?  Where does the lust come from?  Do hormones have anything to do with love?  Why are adolescents so ga-ga about their first "relationship"?   What does healthy dating look like?

Don't forget to click "Follow" at the bottom so you don't miss a thing!
