Why is it important for parents to be involved in homework?

Studies in Britain have shown that children who are supported by their families with homework are likely to perform significantly better in academic examinations at 16 years old and beyond than those who do not

Teenage brain development

Information for parents

Over the last 10 years brain scans (MRI) have told us more about how teenager brains function differently to adult brains

By knowing more about how the teenager’s brain works it can help adults to understand their behaviour better –

Why they may take risks, sleep

a lot

, be impulsive, emotional, rebellious, disorganised, distracted and late!

Teenagers may look physically mature but their brains are still developing into their early twenties

Teenage brain development

As adults we use the frontal part of our brain to think, make judgements, organise ourselves and interpret facial expressions and emotions

By using brain scans(MRI) researchers have found that while the front part of the teenager’s brain is growing and developing they use this part of their brain less for some functions

The CEO of the Brain

The frontal lobes: executive decisions and moral/ethical

controlDevelopment continues from back to front through early 20’s

“It’s sort of unfair to expect teens to have adult levels of organizational skills or decision-making before their brains are finished being built.”- Dr.

GieddSlide12

Don’t believe everything they tell you…..

Teens relied on the amygdala, associated with emotion and gut

reactions. MRI tests: Teens see anger when it was not intendedTeens can be irrational and overly emotionalSlide14

Teenage Sleep

Teenagers need at least 9

hrs sleep to be optimally alertChanges in sleep patterns are linked to puberty and changes in hormones

Puberty is a time when teenager’s physical growth speeds up and this is controlled by the release of growth hormone

Teenagers are growing

very quickly in a short timeSlide17

Teenager’s Sleep pATTERNS

©Solihull Approach

Growth hormone is released during sleep

To grow this quickly they need to make more growth hormone in their bodySlide18

Teenage Sleep

©Solihull Approach

Teenagers will continue with this sleep pattern until they have finished puberty

Near the end of puberty they will change to an adult pattern

For girls this is about 19.5 years of age

and boys around 21 years of age

In teenagers the sleep hormone

(melatonin) is released about

1am

compared to 10pm in adultsSlide19

RoutinesSlide20

Supporting your Teenager

Tips for parents

Bedtime routines and having ways to settle off to sleep are still important. You might just need to adapt them to be more in tune with what is happening to your teenager’s body

Try to encourage a regular bed time that is not too early

Try to keep calm – Just as when they were younger they will rely on you to help them stay calm

Keep bedroom cool

Encourage a calm down time such as agreeing a time to stop using the computer and TV.

Reduce lighting - Having dimmable/lamp lighting can be helpful
