Confession: I used to think that the teenage years were something I had to suffer through before Lane grew up to be an adult.  But I just found a book that changed all that.  I now understand the massive changes the teen brain is undergoing and I look forward to helping Lane harness the power of his powerful new brain so he can thrive in his adolescence.

Included in this episode:

*my Mother's Day surprise!

*Overview of the book Brainstorm: The Power and Purpose of the Teenage Brain by Daniel J Siegel

*two common symptoms questionnaires administered for mental health services

*funny Lane stories involving our favorite movie Nacho Libre
