About this listen
A leading authority draws on new research to explain why the adolescent years are so developmentally crucial, and what we must do to raise happier, more successful kids.
Adolescence now lasts longer than ever before. And as world-renowned expert on adolescent psychology Dr. Laurence Steinberg argues, this makes these years the key period in determining individuals’ life outcomes, demanding that we change the way we parent, educate, and understand young people.
In Age of Opportunity, Steinberg leads listeners through a host of new findings - including groundbreaking original research - that reveal what the new timetable of adolescence means for parenting 13-year-olds (who may look more mature than they really are) versus 20-somethings (who may not be floundering even when it looks like they are). He also explains how the plasticity of the adolescent brain, rivaling that of years 0 through 3, suggests new strategies for instilling self-control during the teenage years. Packed with useful knowledge, Age of Opportunity is a sweeping book in the tradition of Reviving Ophelia, and an essential guide for parents and educators of teenagers.

Great book- A world of insight
The book reflects a great deal of knowledge and insights as contributed by the author and other researchers.
I am a father of two young ones, one 10 and the other 16 years old. I have realised that raising kids without knowledge is nothing short of crime. This book could give me invaluable knowledge and insights on how adolescents think, develop and behave and how we as parents, teachers, policy makers are supposed to view them and deal with them. The author’s work is simply great. I do not have enough words for it.
