We are proud to present Kathryn Berkett, who is an Educational Psychologist with over 15 years experience supporting professionals, whānau and communities worldwide.When puberty hits and our young people seem to change overnight, it can feel confusing and exhausting.
Kathryn explains what is happening in the teenage brain, using clear, engaging language grounded in Neuroscience.
Wellington-based educator and speaker Kathryn Berkett helps parents, caregivers, teachers and youth workers understand adolescence as a temporary and essential upgrade, not a shutdown. With warmth, empathy and humour, she unpacks the huge physical and chemical changes driving teenage behaviour, from shifts in dopamine and hormones to changes in facial recognition, risk-taking and social processing. Behaviours that seem moody, avoidant or reckless are reframed as natural responses to a brain under construction. When we understand that, everything changes.
