Our wonderful, human brain has the ability to grow and constantly change throughout our entire lives. Repetitious practice, setting small goals, building good habits, and developing healthy relationships can shape the brain in new ways. The same goes for your neurodivergent teen.
Neuroplasticity can impact your teen by:
- Expanding interests rather than limiting focus to a narrow set of interests
- Developing new ways to cope with emotions instead of resorting to meltdowns
- Using strategies to get organized and manage time instead of feeling overwhelmed and shutting down.
