InstructionsThe human brain develops in a specific sequence. The limbic system, or the seat of emotions and the experience of rewards, is said to be completely developed in early adolescence. However, the pre-frontal cortex, also called the judgment region, doesn’t finish developing until a person is an adult.We could reasonably suggest that during the adolescent stage, it may be biologically difficult for a person to wrangle their emotions, impulses, and behaviors.As a medical educator, how would you teach a group of parents about why their adolescent boys and girls are “acting out”?In approximately 3 pages, create a “fact sheet” in MS Word that includes a chart, images, banners, tables, etc., that explains why adolescent children may be less logical and more emotional in their decision-making. As part of your fact sheet, include ideas on how parents can best support their teenager during this time.Be sure that you use peer-reviewed research to support your 3-page handout.Requirements
