Assalaamualaikum & Greetings!
Welcome to Cool Mum Super Dad, your companion on this rollercoaster ride called parenthood. I'm your host, Jamilah Samian, a parenting author and speaker. In this episode, I talk about adolescence, a critical stage in life. Throughout adolescence, the brain is still developing, especially the part that helps with decision-making and self-control.
PreTeens & Teens
Gain insights into the differences and similarities between preteens and teens.
Ongoing Brain Development
Understand why your teenager may engage in risky behaviors and may struggle with planning and foreseeing consequences.
Heightened Emotional Responses
Teenagers experience intense emotions, mood swings, and challenges in emotional regulation.
Reward System Sensitivity
Adolescents have a particularly sensitive reward system.
Impact of Social Media and Technology
Constant engagement with social platforms can influence the brain's reward system and emotional processing, often leading to issues with self-esteem, anxiety, and depression.
Changes in Teenagehood
Understand the physical/emotional/psychological/social changes your teenager experiences, and what you can do to guide teenagers to be responsible, dependable and avoid the pitfalls of teenagehood.
Whatever good is in this work is from Allah; any shortcomings are mine alone.
