5 Conversations to Have With Your Teen

Some of the most important lessons don't come from lectures.
They come from conversations.
 

These five conversations are designed to help parents and teens talk openly about attention, technology, emotions, decision-making, and the way our brains can sometimes mislead us. Each one offers a simple way to explore what's happening in the brain, why it matters, and what teens can do to think more clearly and make better choices.
