Judgement Under Pressure: Why Smart Teens Make Risky Decisions
Parents often ask the same question after an otherwise intelligent teen makes a less than favorable judgement call at school, among peers, or in social situations. In early education setting and even middle school impulsive behaviors that are relatively harmless are more easily dismissed. Forgetting chores, getting behind on class assignments, testing boundaries with rules. While these are all age appropriate, challenges can become consequential as our children age, their personalities develop and life begins to feel more real to them.
Fights with peers (physical or social) and pressure to perform, can have an impact not only impulse control but the biological and neurological systems resulting in actions that leave adults asking...
"They know better. Why would they do that?"
Read on to learn how stress, peer presence, and time pressure shape teen decision-making, and why judgment is a skill that can be trained.
