Huberman Lab Clips(@HLPClips):Your teenager pulling away from you is baked into biology: - At the end of adolescence brain and hormone changes create a bias for action, and the action points away from primary caregivers - They always return, like a small child who walks off, looks back to check everything is safe, then keeps going - Same pattern in other primates, in rodents, in almost every mammalian species - The kid who hits puberty and wants to stay home with you happens, but it is not typical Hormones do not just change the body. They bias us to disperse. @hubermanlab
