Why did God Make Adolescents Think Differently?

It is no secret to parents that adolescents think and act differently than younger kids or adults. Rather than you and your adolescent feel frustrated by this, learn why these differences exist and how you both can capitalize on this temporary shift in thinking and reacting.

But these temporary changes are not an accident! Learn how an adolescent's unique way of thinking gives them temporary superpowers that only last until their mid twenties. 

With every strength comes a weakness, however, so it is important to know ways to compensate for times a teenager is too impulsive.
