Abstract
This guide from the Center on the Developing Child at Harvard University provides information for practitioners who work with adolescents about the science behind how young people develop the core skills needed for life and learning. These skills include planning, focus, self-control, awareness, and flexibility. The guide includes five ways practitioners can help youth build these skills. It also summarizes how stress affects adolescent brain development and how to deliver services that reduce stress. (author abstract modified)
