Behave: Chapters 6-9

In chapter six, it was talking about risk assessment and how adolescents will misjudge risk and then not change their misjudgment based on any feedback.

"How likely are you to have a car accident if you're driving while drunk?"
Adolescent: "One chance in a gazillion."
"Actually, the risk is about 50 percent; what do you think your chances are now?"
Adolescent: "Hey, we're talking about me; one chance in a gazillion."

What's awkward is that I still do this and I'm 28! :eek:

This is important. I also read that tweens can't comprend this sometimes crossing busy streets that a car traveling really fast can't stop in time if they are racing across the street at the same time.
 
Pg 166- brought up that teenagers feel rejection more producing a stronger need to fit in. And this isn't even ND, this would apply to NT's.
 
Teens and young adults tend to go through an invisibility stage. Knowing this, I'd remind my kids sometimes that this person in a bad accident also did not plan this. I think we outgrow that we are totally invisible, but we also don't think of bad events happening to us until it does.
