Teenage is the time period in a child’s life which is a very
vulnerable period, both for the child as well as the parents. It is a period in
which the teenager might fall into the addiction, or get into depression, or might
also get into risky situations. However, these teen years are also important
for developing necessary strategic thinking skills. It is the age at which the
foundation for advanced reasoning is laid upon, which is continuously polished
along with complexity and maturity throughout adulthood.
Although, during the teenage years the whole body undergoes
physical changes, but the brain
undergoes maximum changes except the initial one or two months of life. The
changes are observed maximum in the frontal lobe of the brain, which is also
known as the command control center in a layman’s term. The frontal lobe of the
brain is responsible for reasoning, planning, decision-making, judgment, and
other high-level cognitive activities. Therefore, the major development of the
frontal lobe of the brain should be kept under check and maximally under
control.
