{"product_id":"9781610485869","title":"The Middle School Mind: Growing Pains in Early Adolescent Brains","description":"This book is a must read for anyone in close proximity to middle schoolers. Using actual events from the lives of real teenagers, the authors (a middle school principal and a child neuropsychologist) combine perspectives to provide an engaging, light-hearted journey into the adventures and misadventures of newly-minted teens. First, the authors put to rest some long-standing misconceptions about teenage behavior. However bizarre they appear to adults, teenagers’ emotional reactions and their behaviors can no longer be explained solely by raging hormones. Using the stories as a backdrop, the authors provide emerging findings from developmental psychology and the neurosciences to explain why young teens do the things they do. The developing brain of a young teenager produces thoughts and feelings that are vastly different from an adult. Knowing this helps us to appreciate and accept the unique challenges they face.","brand":"R\u0026L Education","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47135267848432,"sku":"9781610485869","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781610485869_p0.jpg?v=1769902839","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781610485869","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
