Chronic stress isn’t a rite of passage - it’s a crisis.

As an educator, college admissions expert, and therapist I encounter parents and educators who misunderstand the teenage brain.

Even a straight A+ student with a perfect SAT score will struggle with certain tasks ... because these skills are not about being smart, they are about complex brain development.

The solution isn't coddling teens or doing things for them, but nurturing these skills with the right balance of support.

But you can't provide that balance if you don't understand the teenage brain!

Did you know that the brain is not fully developed until age 25? The last part of the brain to fully develop is the MOST important part of the brain that is deeply tied to college prep skills!?
