A groundbreaking, research-based guide that sheds new light on why young people make dangerous choices--and offers solutions that workTexting while driving. Binge-drinking. Bullying. Unprotected sex. There are plenty of reasons for parents to worry about getting a late-night call about their teen. But most of the advice parents and educators hear about teens is outdated and unscientific--and simply dont work.Acclaimed adolescent psychiatrist and educator Jess Shatkin brings more than two decades worth of research and clinical experience to the subject, along with cutting-edge findings from brain science, evolutionary psychology, game theory, and other disciplines -- plus a widely curious mind and the perspective of a concerned dad himself.Using science and stories, fresh analogies, clinical anecdotes, and research-based observations, Shatkin explains:* Why scared straight, adult logic, and draconian punishment dont work* Why the teen brain is born to be wild--shaped by evolution to explore and take risks* The surprising role of brain development, hormones, peer pressure, screen time, and other key factors* What parents and teachers can do--in everyday interactions, teachable moments, and specially chosen activities and outings--to work with teens need for risk, rewards and social acceptance, not against it.
