A good review of teens' behavior in light of brain development, hormones, and social changes. I'm glad the author addressed hormonal and social changes; a lot of other books just focus on the brain development. Would have liked to have seen comparisons with other cultures where some behavior we see as risky (in the U.S.) is more accepted (such as drinking). Altogether a very easy to read book with good tips for parents.
