WHY DO THEY ACT THAT WAY? Speaking request form
Thank you for bringing Dr. David Walsh to your group as you work to enhance the lives of teens, their families, and your community. Dr. Walsh believes that understanding Why Do They Act That Way will lead parents, teachers, youth professionals, and community members and leaders to a greater connection with and understanding of the teens in their lives.

Filled with revelations and reassuring insights, in a WHY DO THEY ACT THAT WAY? presentation, Dr. Walsh will:
  • Present new findings on how the adolescent brain interprets emotional expressions differently from an adult's brain, with communication tips to help parents close the gap.
  • Take a look at the physical and developmental differences between male and female brains, and how they affect achievement, aggression, and sexual identity.
  • Share the hard facts about the toll of alcohol, nicotine, and drugs to the vulnerable teenage brain, with particular attention to the long-term negative effects on learning and memory.
Dr. Walsh also delves into the developing brain's role in teenage romance and unsafe sex; the truth about the media and adolescent aggression; the story behind tired teens…and much more.
