The Rosa Banks Mantras
Things change as teens mature
Growth rarely follows a straight line.
Why it mattersThe teenage years are a period of extraordinary brain development. Young people often make sudden leaps forward after months, or even years, of appearing stuck.
Progress is rarely predictable. There will be setbacks, plateaus and days that make you wonder whether anything is changing at all.
The takeaway
Hold onto hope. Keep creating the conditions in which growth is most likely to happen. Today's struggles are not a prediction of tomorrow.
