Presentation transcript:

 Do conversations with your middle schooler suddenly spin out of control?  Does your child have changes in their attitude that seem to come from out of no where?  Does your child suddenly display “emotional fireworks”?  Has your child been showing changes in their behaviors that seem out of sorts? YOU ARE NOT ALONE!

 This time in a child’s life is when the brain is undergoing the final stage of development.  A child’s behavior is directly linked to the changes taking place in the brain.  Parents need to have an understanding of what is happening in the brain of their child to help them thrive through this stage of development.
