Teenagers & Puberty
The most intense time of life
Puberty is a time of great change – for young people and their parents. It is a phase of upheaval, identity searching, and emotional rollercoasters. Our courses help to better understand this time and to strengthen the relationship between parents and children.

The teenage brain undergoes a massive restructuring that is not completed until around age 25. The prefrontal cortex, responsible for planning and impulse control, is the last to mature. That explains a lot!
Why is puberty so intense?
What really happens during puberty
Emotional Rollercoaster
Teenagers experience their emotions more intensely than ever before. Anger, sadness, and enthusiasm change rapidly.
Brain Under Construction
A teenager's brain is literally under construction. Impulse control and risk assessment only mature by age 25.
Peer Pressure
The opinion of peers becomes more important than that of parents. This is normal – and yet challenging.
Identity Formation
'''Who am I?''' is the central question of puberty. Teenagers need space to try things out.
