Teen Parenting Plan: A Neuroscience-Based Approach for Pre-Teens and Teens
Can be EASY and ENJOYABLE with NEUROSCIENCE
Neuroscience Tools for Parenting Teens
Are you struggling with your pre-teen or teen’s behaviour?
Are you wondering how parenting needs to change while parenting a pre-teen or teen?
Here are two things every parent needs to understand:
1. Challenging behaviour often signals growth
During the pre-teen and teen years, the brain is changing rapidly. As new thinking abilities develop, emotional regulation and behaviour can become more inconsistent and challenging for a while.
2. Parenting needs to change as the brain changes
In early childhood, parenting focuses on building the emotional brain.
From around age 8 - 10 onwards, parenting increasingly needs to support the development of the thinking brain — helping children learn decision-making, self-control, and independence.
This program is designed to help parents understand what is driving their current challenges, and how they can respond in ways that support healthy brain development.
Changing parenting from trying to manage behaviour to supporting brain development is important, because when the thinking brain grows, behaviour often changes as a result.
Children are constantly responding to the environment around them.
Changing our responses and our parenting is often the key to supporting a pre-teen or teen’s brain development — and the behaviour that follows.

Who this is for And who this is NOT for
This approach is for parents who are willing to reflect on their own responses and make changes where needed.
It may not be suitable if you are looking for quick fixes, techniques to control behaviour, or someone to “fix” your child.
