During our staff professional development (PD) time today we had some discussion and built our background knowledge on the mind of the teenager. Their brains are not completely developed (as we already knew) and, in fact, their emotions are actually heightened in sensitivity due to evolution getting our ancestors ready to leave their homes and make way on their own. For that reason it is really important not to take everything they say personally. At the same time, it is really difficult not to take everything they say personally.
It was a great PD and I look forward to learning more together.
