Book Giveaway: The Teenage Brain by Dr Frances E. Jenson

[TinaMumsnet]

We used to think that erratic teenage behaviour was due to a sudden surge in hormones, but modern neuroscience shows us that this isn't true.

Part self-help and part new science The Teenage Brain unveils new insight into the adolescent mind and advice on how best to parent through this tumultuous period.

We've got 50 copies of The Teenage Brain to giveaway this week, click here to find out more and apply for a free copy.

Don't forget, if you're lucky enough to receive a copy of The Teenage Brain we do ask that you tell us what you think about it on the thread below or write a review here.

Have applied - god, I REALLY need this book at the moment!! If only so I can tell myself that this too shall pass!

Have applied too.
Need all the help I can get with my teen at the mo....

Have applied so I can get a heads up for how to deal with my oldest as he's already starting to act like a teenager and he's 11!

Yes, I need help too!!! Ds is 16 and a bit of a nightmare, but almost as bad is Dd who is only 8, but OMG! she's so like a teenager it's unbelievable!!

Have applied. Badly need help after last night's melt down.

Applied! With three yet to get there I need all the help I can get

I sooo need this in my life

I've applied - I have a 15,13 and 12 year old - please help.

I have no UK address but I'll be buying this book ASAP.

So far my 13 yr olds are still semi reasonable, so far.

Thanks, have applied! 15, 12 year old DSDs and a 4.5yo DS... Laugh a minute right now! (Either that or weep!)

DS turns 13 in a few months... and it's already kicking in. Fingers crossed to get a copy!

I need a book to explain why my two complain that its too cold inside my perfectly warm house and then decline to wear coats, hats scarves etc, etc when going out...
off to apply now!

This book sounds fascinating. If it can help me deal with (survive?) 2 highly stroppy hormonal man-babies, all the better.

Have applied. Fingers crossed.

Done!

Teenage brains are fascinating, I'd love to read it.

I have applied. I am hoping it will explain a lot…! Look very interesting

I've applied - I love all that brain sciencey stuff and the Nicola Morgan 'Blame my brain' book was a good start but this looks like it goes into it a bit more deeply.

As a writer of historical young adult fiction I am very interested in which aspects of teenage behaviour are culturally determined and which are innate.

x'ing fingers for this

Ooh blimey, this could really help. Here, it's not so much the ill temper and grunting that I'm finding er...challenging it's more the weird anxieties that erupt out of nowhere.

Especially about health. The slightest twinge and she's got the Big C. Most recently it's been a touch of gastric reflux that's generated the tears. So, whoever put an ad on TV last night about heartburn maybe being an indicator of stomach cancer - a big thanks to you!

As a mum to a 14 year old ds, who is apparently a delight at school but totally unpredictable at home, I'd love to understand why one minute he's kissing me goodnight, the next minute he's whinging that I supposedly don't like his Muslim friends when all I'd done is ask why the group he was doing a DoE day trip with was different to the one he did the navigation exercise with

I'm currently reading "Get out of my life but first take me and Alex into town" (and I found out today that dh has also been reading it) and have "How to talk to teenagers so they will listen and listen so they will talk" on my bedside table for my next read.

I've got a 12 year old and a 10 year old, so a good time to prepare myself for what is to come.

Also applied, I need this!

i hope i get a copy. single mum to a 13 year old who is not well mentally at the moment.
i would love to understand more.
