n nMarvel at the neuroscientific reasons why smart teens make dumb decisions nBehold the mind-controlling power of executive function nThrill to a vision of a better school for the teenage brain n nWhether youre a parent interacting with one adolescent or a teacher interacting with many, you know teens can be hard to parent and even harder to teach. The eye-rolling, the moodiness, the wandering attention, the drama. Its not you, its them. More specifically, its their brains.n nIn accessible language and with periodic references to Star Trek, motorcycle daredevils, and near-classic movies of the 80s, developmental molecular biologist John Medina, author of the New York Times best-seller Brain Rules, explores the neurological and evolutionary factors that drive teenage behavior and can affect both achievement and engagement. Then he proposes a research-supported counterattack: a bold redesign of educational practices and learning environments to deliberately develop teens cognitive capacity to manage their emotions, plan, prioritize, and focus.n nAttack of the Teenage Brain is an enlightening and entertaining read that will change the way you think about teen behavior and prompt you to consider how else parents, educators, and policymakers might collaborate to help our challenging, sometimes infuriating, often weird, and genuinely wonderful kids become more successful learners, in school and beyond.n
