If you’re a parent in Wanaka, attending Nathan Wallis’s talk on the teen brain is a must.
Path Wānaka, Central Otago Reap and Community Links are delighted to bring Wallis to Wānaka.
Wallis, New Zealand’s leading neuroscience educator, is known for his lively, humorous, and down-to-earth presentations on how the brain develops and what that means for parenting teenagers. He condenses 25 years of neuroscience research into engaging and accessible language, making complex ideas not only understandable but also directly applicable to everyday parenting.
Wallis’s unique way of explaining what happens during adolescence—often referred to as the brain’s “renovation period” – often helps parents dramatically shift how they handle conflicts and challenges with their teens.
Parents who have attended his talks rave about the “ah-ha!” moments they experience. He combines neuroscience with practical parenting tips giving parents tools they can immediately apply at home to enhance communication with their teens and help mitigate the stress that often accompanies the teenage years.
With adolescent mental health concerns, such as anxiety and depression, on the rise, understanding the science behind your teenager’s brain could help you guide them through these challenging years. Don’t miss this opportunity to gain new perspectives and strategies for supporting your teen through the highs and lows of adolescence.
