Human Brain Development
![Page 8: Drug Prevention Training for Parents · 2018-05-03 · 38 years of school-based substance abuse prevention ... Intensive Student Education ... Substance Use treatment or about your](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022050406/5f8364173594cc6fd85227e2/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The Teenage Brain
Alcohol and other drugs
interfere with forming
connections in a teen’s
brain.
These connections are
intended to be formed
without the presence of
alcohol or other drugs.
A brain in transition from
child to adult is more
vulnerable to addiction.
![Page 9: Drug Prevention Training for Parents · 2018-05-03 · 38 years of school-based substance abuse prevention ... Intensive Student Education ... Substance Use treatment or about your](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022050406/5f8364173594cc6fd85227e2/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The Teenage Brain
Front brain functions that
develop during adolescence:
Abstract thinking
Higher-order logic and reasoning (moral dilemmas)
Self Control (emotions, impulses)
Future-oriented thinking
Organization

The Pleasure Principle
Drugs unnaturally
activate or imitate
pathways in the brain.
Teen brains, already
dopamine rich, are
primed for pleasure.

Why Do Kids Use Alcohol and Other Drugs?
“To have fun.”
“Everybody does it.”

Stress
Curiosity
Lack of information
Unknown expectations

Social Norms
People tend to do what they
perceive everyone else is doing.
What people think everyone else
is doing becomes the norm.
But…
…perceptions are not always
accurate. Still…
…behaviors occur based on false
norms.

Preventing Teen Addiction
Remember most students
are healthy. Your children
are most likely in the
majority.
Be in tune with your child's
emotional state.
If you suspect your child is
using alcohol, tobacco or
other drugs be proactive.
Early intervention and
assessment are key.
