Video Introduction
Adolescence is a whole new ball game. Children's bodies start to change, and with that comes a whole new set of challenges.
And we now know that their brains change significantly too, in ways which can be hard for young people and their parents to understand.
Naomi will explain adolescent brain development and will show how the interaction of adolescence and demand avoidance can make life particularly challenging. She'll give you some practical ideas as to how to help your young person (and yourself) get through these important years.
