We meet Dr. Frances E. Jensen, MD to explore her book, “The Teenage Brain: A Neuroscientist's Survival Guide to Raising Adolescents and Young Adults.” Co-written by Amy Ellis Nutt, this bestseller explores recent research into how the adolescent brain is still developing throughout the teenage years, the important changes that are still happening, and the implications when it comes to parenting and understanding teen behavior.
