The Adolescent Brain:
What Parents Need to Know to Raise Confident, Resilient & Future-Ready Young Women
As a parent, guardian, or someone who works closely with teens, you may be asking questions like:
Why do girls face a 30% drop in confidence in their teen years, and how does that affect them?
How does her brain develop from adolescence into her early 20s, shaping her emotions and decisions?
Beyond peers and social media, what’s affecting girls’ confidence and mental wellness?
What motivates her to learn, lead and achieve, and why can too much pressure backfire?
How can you help her build resilience and find her path?
