Those of us with teenage children we have been surprised from time to time, some of their reactions, despite their emotional development is healthy and normal. Also we were teenagers, but observers of ourselves. Now, from outside, give explanation to any behavior that to understand what the movement has revolutionized hormonal them. And this is, but something else. The February issue of the journal Networks science includes article "The teen brain" yield some scientific explanations that can help us stay in the skin of our children. Summarize some of them:
"I'm bored"
a teenager Boredom can be avoided only when exposed to emotionally charged situations. The limbic system is one of the first to ripen, and is responsible for managing the emotions and affection. Activity during adolescence is very intense and that's why kids are so sensitive to any stimulus, positive or negative. Paralelemante, testosterone and estrogen, flood, his brain being particularly sensitive to sexual stimuli. Therefore, things become volatile, unstable and thirst for thrills.
"You Do not Understand"
A study conducted by the neuropsychologist Deborah Yurgelum-Todd, showed that adolescents in the faces confuse fear with anger or sadness. In this misunderstanding of complaining can influence his inability to understand others. The "you do not understand me" is probably a somewhat narcissistic to express "I do not understand how you feel, not what you say."
"I want it, here and now"
Why all urgently need and are unable to wait? The answer has a group of neurons that respond to the name "nucleus accumbens", which are the reward and pleasure center of the brain, and have exaggerated activity in adolescents. Therefore, it is not surprising that move by the urgent need now, the here and now.
