Dr Rosemary Taylor speaks at conferences around the world of the subject of the development of the teenage brain; why 21st Century teenagers can shock, surprise and delight us – but also challenge us in ways that we may not expect. She sheds some real light on the neuroscience whilst bringing common sense and practical advice on how to cope, how to help and, very importantly, how to stay sane! Her presentations have been described as ‘thought-provoking, engaging and insightful’ as she helps us to understand what really happening to adolescents as they navigate the challenges of school, friendships and growing up.
