"The Teenage Brain: A Work in Progress"
Canton Junior High Students in grades 6-8 had a presentation recently titled "The Teenage Brain: A Work in Progress."
The human brain goes through two periods of extreme change and development: infancy to age five and adolescence. In this presentation, students learned how their personal choices in self-care, behavior, and relationships can impact the brain form and function as well as their life satisfaction and success outcomes. They also explored strategies and practices to increase their resilience to navigate the challenges and adversity they face daily.
A special thank you to The Grant Halliburton Foundation for their presentation to our students! We love our CJH kiddos and want them to THRIVE! This starts with conversations to understand their brain and how it works! So thankful to be a part of this opportunity!!
