The Teen Brain
How the brain of a teen affects their behaviour and what parents can do to help.
Course Summary
The brain of an adolescent is different from a child’s and an adult’s. It’s changing so much during this time that its effects upon moods, behaviours and lifestyle can be unsettling for both the adolescent and the whole family. Indeed, at times it might be frightening.
This 45 minute course offers a brief review of the brain, what it’s made of, how it works and just how it’s changing during this critical phase of life. It also shows how typical teenage behaviour can be explained, at least in part, by these changes and practical advice of both a general and a specific nature is also given.
The teenage years are an exciting, rewarding, explosive time and one which too many families wish over quickly. This course aims to offer knowledge, reassurance, guidance and it’s hoped that this combination will reduce any stresses within the family. We would like all involved to know what is in this course so they may enjoy and grow in all sorts of ways during these, often, turbulent years. This is our attempt to help which we have used successfully with many families over quite a few years.

My love of people, my deep curiosity in human behaviour, my desire to help people to become more complete, more balanced, more content, more fulfilled, and closer to who they have the potential to be have been life-long.
So, it was probably no surprise that I worked for 36 years in secondary education in the UK - which I loved. Much of this time was devoted to providing guidance and support to pupils, staff and parents to try to enable them to see the value in the challenges and difficulties in their lives, to see the bigger picture, to see themselves and others less harshly, and to see the value of less fear.
After retiring early I moved with my wife to beautiful Devon in the summer of 2014 and continue to offer advice to those who come to me in need.
As a long time meditator I find its value to myself and others huge. I began teaching it years ago (last century actually!) whilst I was still teaching and now teach meditation to both individuals and groups face-to-face and online. In addition, I have led evening, day and weekend retreats as well as many sessions more tightly focused on reducing stress. Designing and recording bespoke visualisations and teaching meditation 1-2-1 are in demand at the moment.
I also enjoy working with individuals to help them and their children sleep better, to be less negative in outlook, to be more mindful in their communication, to be less anxious, to be more reflective, and to enjoy life more. In all that I do my aim is always to offer practical advice to all in an appropriate, accessible, enjoyable, based in good science and discursive manner.
During the pandemic visits to businesses and schools to deliver talks and workshops have ceased although online meetings seem to work very well.
Several books are available on my Amazon page (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Nigel-Lowson/e/B0034Q6LYQ) and several online courses are available from my website (https://nigel.newzenler.com) or via my YouTube Channel.
Married to Gilly since 1980 I am a father to two girls and a grandfather to two boys still at school so I still feel connected to the young, in some way!
