Melissa Cohen is an LCSW based in New York City. She is the author of the amazon best selling book ParentKnowlogy, a Simple Guide To Surviving Your Teen. In this interview Melissa tells us how the teenage brain is different from a fully formed adult brain, explaining why teens often engage in risky behavior. Melissa is also a big proponent of parents living in the present, that we work to give teens the tools they need to grow to be the adults they are meant to be, not the adults we ant or need them to be. Melissa also suggests we all take time to practice the three R's, reset, refocus and reconnect.
