Drawing on research knowledge and experience, based on my interaction working the education sector —Shravan Shetty , offers a revolutionary look at the science of the adolescent brain, providing remarkable insights that translate into practical advice for both parents and teenagers.

Over the last decade, however, the scientific community has learned that the teen years encompass vitally important stages of brain development.

preoccupied with the smallest details of his or her
life. “Everyone is going to notice this about me ; I
