But...
Even with all that, it still could happen, but there are ways of reducing the frequency.
Which is, I think, some of the information around the adolescent brain, especially once we start to think about it.
And I used to look at my kids and go, man, there's so much going on in there.
I've got to give you some space.
I've got to give you some grace, you know.
So I think that helps as well.
If they are completely calm and they've got food in their belly and they've had good sleep, nothing.
They're going to be just as good as they were before.
You know, some of that, so some of the pathways to deliver dopamine to the prefrontal cortex, which helps us think, are changing.
So there can be some slight impacts, but not really anything you'd majorly notice generally.
But the thing is, is that the middle brain, the orangey brain, I call it, the limbic area, it's doing so much upgrading.
It has to take energy.
That's where your dopamine sensitivity is increasing.
That's all upgrading.
So I sort of talk about it as that's recruiting quite a bit of energy.
So as soon as there's any emotionality or I'm hungry or I'm tired, there's just not enough energy to go into the green brain, into that executive functioning part.
So they are more likely to find it harder to access those parts of the brain.
So if they're completely calm, you'll be sitting around the dinner table, right, and they're eating and they're chatting away and they're like thinking executive function and this is happening and that's happening.
And then the next morning when it's time to go to school, all of that's gone.
