Between the ages of 12 and 24, the brain changes in important and often maddening ways. It’s no wonder that many parents approach their child’s adolescence with fear and trepidation. According to renowned neuropsychiatrist Daniel Siegel, however, if parents and teens can work together to form a deeper understanding of the brain science behind all the tumult, they will be able to turn conflict into connection and form a deeper understanding of one another.

In Brainstorm, Siegel illuminates how brain development affects teenagers’ behaviour and relationships. Drawing on important new research in the field of interpersonal neurobiology, he explores exciting ways in which understanding how the teenage brain functions can help parents make what is in fact an incredibly positive period of growth, change and experimentation in their children’s lives less lonely and distressing on both sides of the generational divide.

Came highly recommended. Still working though - so far so good. But it's a SLOW listen and the audio gets wonky if any faster than 1.0X

I first listened to this book 3 years ago, promising myself to listen to it again when my kids are in their teens. My daughter is 14 now, and the lessons from this book are so applicable, every day. I will listen again in 2 years when my son will be 14. The concepts explained here are as current now, in 2024, as they were when written.

Mind opening

I especially found Dr. Siegel’s presentation of the Wheel of Awareness to be a rewarding listen and would recommend it’s practice to anyone seeking to explore mindfulness at a deeper level. And for any parent wanting to better understand the mind of a teen, this book offers an exceptional opportunity to gain the tools to do just that.

So much useful knowledge and insight.
