Rebecca Torrance Jenkins teaches Science, writes, and works with schools and parents.
Along the way, she’s been asked many brilliant questions by parents, children and teachers about learning, the brain, what we really need our children to know, and how to survive adolescence in a digital world.
Until we understand how brains learn, and when learning flourishes, how will children reach their full potential?
What parents say…
“It’s like someone crawled into my life, decoded my teenager, and handed me a guide. With tea. And actual neuroscience.“
“Finally—science that explains your teenager. And what to do next.“
