[quote=Anonymous]Sometimes teens’ reactions to something are out of proportion with the actual situation. For instance, an adult who had similar anxiousness about buying something alone (as unusual as that situation might be) would probably have not reacted in such an extreme manner. Same with a ten-year old. The frontal cortex matures after the amygdala so teens often cannot regulate their emotions. This isn’t to say she doesn’t need a lot of help and guidance, just that the situation might not be as extreme as her resigno would suggest. [/quote]
