1) After reading your text, look through the resources provided by  Frontline: Inside the Teenage Brain   (Links to an external site.)

2) Respond to the following three prompts. Include the prompts in your response.

      a. Provide a comparison between how the information from the readings differed (or didn't) with what you might have known about the teenage brain to this point from your text reading and personal experiences.

     b. Describe an insight about a teenager's actions at this time in life you have gained from these resources.

     c. Based on these resources, describe something you might use or share if you were working with teens and/or their families. 

 

-Their actions are guided more by the emotional and reactive amygdala and less by the thoughtful, logical frontal cortex. Which includes how you feel and what emotions do you have inside.

-As I have read the the sources,  in such way, the brain was fully developed by the time we reached puberty and we know that already.

-Base on the source, I may say that almost teenagers have different mood swings and different issues in life.

Step-by-step explanation

    After reading your text, look through the resources provided by  Frontline: Inside the Teenage Brain (Links to an external site.)

 Respond to the following three prompts. Include the prompts in your response.

      a. Provide a comparison between how the information from the readings differed (or didn't) with what you might have known about the teenage brain to this point from your text reading and personal experiences.

Their actions are guided more by the emotional and reactive amygdala and less by the thoughtful, logical frontal cortex. Which includes how you feel and what emotions do you have inside. And thats why Changes in this part continue into early adulthood.Moreover,  teenagers might also rely on a part of the brain called the amygdala to make decisions and solve problems more than adults do. Furthermore, we have also unique brain. We are more likely to act first and think later because the linkages between our reward seeking behavior and our impulse control are still developing because we are still teenagers. 

     b. Describe an insight about a teenager's actions at this time in life you have gained from these resources.

As I have read the the sources,  in such way, the brain was fully developed by the time we reached puberty and we know that already. but base on other research now, it  shows that the brain doesn't fully mature until we reach in mid-twenties. Moreover, which is also responsible for things like judgement, reason and empathy, is not fully developed. And this is can lead unto negative behaviours we may see in teenagers, like taking risks, poor decision-making, peer pressure and more. 

     c. Based on these resources, describe something you might use or share if you were working with teens and/or their families.

-Base on the source, I may say that almost teenagers have different mood swings and different issues in life. Teenagers should have new connections and learn new things that can be very motivational or can motivate yourself and others as well. We must have a mindset that, we should teach the brain because it can learn and develop. But in other half, we can appreciate how easy it is to stop paying attention when information appears uninteresting or unimportant.
