Highly readable, ground-breaking' Professor Laurence SteinbergWhy does an easy child become a challenging teenager? Why do teenagers struggle to get up in the morning? Why do they often take excessive risks? We often joke that teenagers dont have brains. For some reason, its socially acceptable to mock people in this stage of their lives.
