When children reach teenage some series of physical changes take place causing emotional problems. What I didn´t really know was the fact that through this period brain also experiences some modifications that are the actual reason for teen mood and temperament alteration. After watching “the teenage brain” program I learned and improved my knowledge in this area. The adolescent annoying and impulsive attitude is understandable and is part of growth and development process. There are also some patterns that can be appreciated in most of the cases. Changes in sleeping hours, relationship with parents, and redistribution of time spent alone, with friends, and family is a characterizing trait seen in several persons passing through this age.
All the previous variations can be attributed to the alterations taking place in the teen brain. As body, brain develops during puberty, letting behind a kid and becoming more like an adult. The Prefrontal Cortex which is in charge of personality, behavior, solving problems, and controlling emotions, is the last part to develop. During teenage this brain section suffers many changes that can be observed in teen’s attitude. Also, I find out how teenagers are often taking big risk by putting in practice danger activities where a bad move can finish in an accident that can affect the head. In general this video helped me to understand and be aware of the importance of brain development during these ages.
