This sensitivity to status and respect continues into the mid-twenties.10 to 25 helps adults to use this science to learn how to encourage young people and avoid frustrating patterns of miscommunication and conflict.Young people in this age group are poised to learn, grow, and accomplish incredible things - if only we can tap into the basic neurobiological systems that drive their motivation and behaviour.10 to 25 offers long-term strategies to help nurture well-adjusted, independent, accomplished young adults, and is necessary reading for all parents, educators and mentors.
