The teenage brain is an impulse machine. At CityPrep, we help students work with their brain’s architecture to develop effective impulse control strategies.
The limbic system is fully functional while the prefrontal cortex is still under construction. For more on adolescent development, see our guide on talking to your teen. You can also find brain science resources on NIMH.
Techniques like the STOP method and If-Then planning make a difference. For more on supporting disorganized students, read our post on executive functioning. This is also relevant for identifying friendship red flags.
