A cheerful presentation about the inner workings of the adolescent brain and wat adults should know about it. About planning; about sleeping schedules; about their disarming honesty and their incredible sense of humour.
In 2009, Aletta Smits started giving theater-style interactive presentations about the teenage brain. The Adolescent brain - A Manual was the first presentation she ever gave. While the title has remained the same over the years, the content and stories have evolved.
A guaranteed cheerful and engaging hour and a half, filled with plenty of relatable moments and reassurance. Answers to questions like: Why don't they go to sleep on time? Why can't they get out of bed? Why don't they start their work on time? Why can they magically get up when they're going to an amusement park with friends? And why, oh why, do they always argue?
Through the lens of biology (what is physically different in a teenager's brain?) and evolution (how did teenagers come to be this way?), this presentation offers a lighthearted yet insightful explanation of why teenagers behave the way they do. Some challenges have solutions—we'll discuss those. Others simply require patience—we'll identify those too.
Aletta has given this presentation over a thousand times in different settings: for teachers, parents (in all forms), police officers, judges, truancy officers, military personnel, internship supervisors, and employers of young workers. You're more than welcome to attend as well!
Super leuk en interactief gebracht. veel actuele voorbeelden waardoor alles heel echt wordt.Vliegbasis Gilze-Rijen - 2024-09-26
Meest hilarische avond voor deskundigheidsbevordering die ik tot nu toe heb meegemaakt. Omdat mijn oude mensen brein in de avond niet meer zo veel informatie tot zich neemt, ga ik graag de presentatie downloaden en alles nog eens doornemen.Wijdewormer - 2024-09-25
Alle lof voor de spreker die met de kletterende regen op het dak zich toch verstaanbaar kon maken.Wijdewormer - 2024-09-25
