Maybe you don’t need to whine about your parenting style anymore because all the aggression, disrespectfulness and risky behavior of your teen is the result of a mismatch in the maturity of different areas of their brain according to Forum Online.

Neuroscientists believe that a teen’s brain is work-in-progress. Risky and rude behavior is the consequence of the brain development that results from maturation of different parts of the brain at different times.

For example, the Limbic system that is responsible for the emotional responses starts to mature at puberty whereas pre-frontal cortex changes occur later. An early puberty also means an extended mismatch years.

Threats and Challenges Faced

A teen’s brain in response to environmental changes experience different threats and opportunities. The technological revolution of the last 20 years is considered to have the biggest impact on the maturity of teenage brain. Teens have to sieve through agglomerated and voluminous data that affects their claims and separate reality from fiction.

Another research has particularly explained why teenage boys are more vulnerable to risky behavior. Their limbic system shows enhanced activity in response to a threat and may tell them to respond even in the situations where they are warned about it beforehand.

A study has demonstrated that a certain molecule responsible for instigating the feelings of fear is less active in boys. This explains quite well why teenage boys are more prone to taking risks than adults.

So what’s The Point?

These new set of studies can help parents not only reconcile positive thoughts about their nasty kids but also for devising a plan that suits their teen’s behavior appropriately. One thing that parents can learn is that they require to keep their teenage kids away from environments that can instigate feelings of aggression and anxiety. Because the aforementioned studies are loudly telling us that teens are not very good at dealing with pressure, stress and related issues.

A parental control app can help parents know about their kids’ activities. This way then can silently watch over their kids without alarming any sort of negative feelings in them.
