The Inuit don't shout at their children – so why do we?

Frances E. Jensen of the Perelman School of Medicine spoke about her research on the teenage brain and the benefits of parental empathy. “Teens will react more readily than an adult,” said Jensen. “If the reaction is anger it will come faster in a teenager and an act based on the anger could come faster too. They need to know they may trigger too quickly. But this is also why I say adults should give them what I call a ‘frontal lobe assist’.”
