The Adolescent Brain, Nature and Nurture
Recorded Tuesday 20 April 2021
With Dr Graham Music
This talk will look at adolescent brain development, and how contemporary life and pressures, such as technology, social media and new forms of peer pressure, might tilt long evolved potentials along new and possibly worrying trajectories. We will see how our evolved capacities, honed over millennia in our hunter gatherer pasts where humans were immersed in nature, have been hijacked by contemporary consumerist industrial societies, deeply affecting our minds, bodies, brains and nervous systems.
READ MORE...The talk, using slides and videos, will think about what can redress this, in particular the forms of relationships, with parents, important adults and nature, which can rebalance and recalibrate the adolescent nervous system, leading to them living a better life and creating a more hopeful future.
