Teenage brains go through significant restructuring and maturing, and emotion coaching, or mindfulness, can really help them navigate these major changes. It’s also invaluable for parents to understand these changes and therefore the new behaviours that can go with them. Understanding the reasons why your teenager might be feeling angry, or taking risks, or not wanting to spend so much time with you – can help you put these behaviours in a broader context – and help you deal with them better.
