The Primal Teen

The Primal Teen: What The New Discoveries About The Teenage Brain Tell Us About Our Kids by Barbara Strauch. I read this when I was too young (i.e. a teenager), and it messed me up pretty bad.

Interesting concepts

There’s actually only one thing I remember from this book: “My prefrontal cortex hasn’t finished myelinating.” Can be used like: “I didn’t walk the dog/clean my room/do my homework because my prefrontal cortex hasn’t finished myelinating.”
