Why do teenagers take risks even when they know the consequences?
Many parents assume teenage behaviour is simply stubbornness or bad influence. But neuroscience tells a different story.
During adolescence, the brain’s dopamine reward system becomes highly sensitive, while the prefrontal cortex responsible for impulse control is still developing. This creates a powerful combination of excitement seeking, peer influence, and risk-taking behaviour.
In this video, I explain the science behind teenage decision making, using real-life stories including a young athlete navigating social media attention and a teenage boy struggling with peer pressure.
If you are a parent, teacher, counselor, or youth mentor, this video will help you better understand how the teenage brain works and how to guide adolescents more effectively.
