The teenage years, spanning ages 13 to 19, are a time of rapid physical, emotional, and cognitive changes. During this period, the brain develops from the back to the front, with the prefrontal cortex—the area responsible for reasoning and impulse control—maturing last, typically in the late 20s. This explains why teens often:
- Struggle to manage emotions.
- Prefer high-excitement, low-effort activities.
- Have difficulty planning or foreseeing consequences.
- Engage in impulsive or risky behaviors.
Parents play a key role in guiding their teens through these changes by staying engaged, modeling
healthy behaviors, and fostering open communication.
