Your teen is not consciously pushing your buttons.

Playing certain sports can make your teen grow taller.

everyone would probably be doing that sport.

Parents shouldn't talk to their kids about sex.

about sex and sexuality. It's not the reverse.

Hi, I'm Dr. Blair Hammond, general pediatrician

at Mount Sinai Hospital, where I've been for 18 years.

I'm an assistant clinical professor at Mount Sinai Hospital

I'm also the host of the podcast Raising Good Humans.

Today, we'll be debunking myths about parenting teens.

It feels very comfortable to keep adolescents

where their prefrontal cortex is at full growth

and they're ready to go out into the world.

They still are experiencing changes into their 20s.

And this prefrontal cortex that we talk about

is this area right in the front part of the brain

that's involved with judgment, inhibition, even morality.

that adolescence is a time of tremendous growth. In fact,

it's the second largest brain growth period

Certainly, adolescence is a risk-taking time, as we know,

But many adolescents do not try alcohol or drugs.

and so it can mean that their impulse control

particularly with groups of other adolescents.

is that the teenage brain hyper-rationalizes,

so their tendency is to look at the positive outcome.

and you've been with people who are drinking

an adolescent brain that's hyper-rationalizing is going to say,

"There's only a 10% chance that something bad will happen."

What you want them to do is move to just thinking,

the bigger picture, what does that 10% look like?

And is that what I want for another human being or me

putting their life at danger, putting my life at danger.

Strict parents raise well-behaved children.

to strict parents sometimes raise well-behaved children

that would be the only way this would be true.

Strict, controlling parents may have kids

but they have covert behaviors that are terrifying

because they are more scared of getting in trouble with you

If you have no boundaries and expectations,

you also can get kids who get into a lot of trouble

Hammond: High expectations of children --

Hammond: Having boundaries, setting limits for your child

in a warm and sensitive way where you collaborate

What's considered authoritative parenting,

you are less likely to have kids who act out

and misbehave in ways that are dangerous.

to have that intrinsic motivation to make good choices

For a lot of teens, it's not about addiction,

Addiction happens when you get rewards intermittently

And I think the word addiction is commonly used

when it interferes with a teen's ability to function
