Abstract
Have you ever wondered why children act and behave the way they do? Have you marvelled at the stages of development you have witnessed and simultaneously felt bewildered by that very journey of growth and maturation? This presentation unlocks some of the mysteries of the development of the mind from birth through adolescence by examining the developing brain and shedding light on why children and teenagers may act the way they do. A look at this development provides dads with some insights into the importance of just saying 'no' to a toddler and understanding why adolescents seem to have difficulty explaining their actions when doing the 'wrong' thing or indeed why they are, at times, seemingly incapable of responsible decision making. The aim of the presentation is to bring science to the role of being a dad in a positive and helpful manner.
