Adolescence is a whirlwind of emotions, from crushes to passionate pursuits. At its core, it’s a time of curiosity and introspection, a critical phase where teens don’t just learn facts—they ponder why the world is the way it is. Science now shows that this kind of deep thinking powers their brain development, fostering resilience and shaping their future well-being. It’s less about what teens know, and more about how they think. And in a world that often focuses on academic outcomes, it’s crucial to nurture this unique form of growth.

For the full story on why it’s good for kids to be thinking big and asking why, check out this article from Scientific American (paywall).
