A 2015 neuroscience study reveals that when adolescents hear criticism from their mothers, the problem-solving parts of their brains effectively shut down, resulting in disengagement.
After three years of research for The Disengaged Teen, we discovered that communicating with teens requires greater respect and understanding of their mindset to foster better learning.
Discussion plays a critical role in adolescent development, serving as an essential part of their brain growth, much like cuddling is for infants.
To effectively engage with teens, parents should shift from instructive communication to a more conversational style, facilitating a dialogue that invites respect and support.
