The teenage brain

http://blogs.kqed.org/mindshift/2015/01/why-teens-are-impulsive-addiction-prone-and-should-protect-their-brains/
 
The ISC has just purchased a copy of Frances Jensen's newly released "The Teenage Brain". Frances is a neuro scientist and her book is a survival guide to raising adolescents. The Mindshift blog has also extracted some interesting highlights from a recent interview with Frances. In the ISC we also have a copy of Nicola Morgan's "Blame My Brain", another enlightening read. These books and the article help explain why some of our students are having difficulty when it comes to self regulating their use of social media and gaming. They don't know when "enough is enough". Click on the image above to read the Mindshift article and/or come to the ISC to borrow the mentioned resources.
