What about the dopamine sensitivity?

What does that mean?

How does that show up for adolescents?

Right.

So they're like, well, you're already my tribe, kind of to the family.

Like, you're not giving me any dopamine rush.

You know, subconsciously, that's what they're thinking.

I prefer to be in the presence of other people who are giving me this kind of rush for some reason.

So don't feel bad that your teen is pushing you away.

A good thing to remember in terms of teens,

these days compared to the old days, get to have these relationships with their peers and other people who are the same age as them in online settings.

So it's not kind of real world interaction.

And so I guess I'm wondering what are the impacts then that when a teen is trying to find their tribe and they're having kind of,

artificial or online communications with other teens, it's not quite the same as meeting people in the real world and what that must do to your brain instead.

So yeah, I guess I'm just asking is, do you think that neuroscience

gives us some reason to really hold on to those real world communications and relationships.

So these are, and we've only kind of scratched the surface, but these seem to be really critical things that are happening in our adolescent brain.

And yet we focus so much on those first thousand days.

There's not as much talk about this.

Do you think there should be?
