On this episode Lars speaks to professor Mariana Brussoni about her research on risky play, injury statistics, outdoor play, the influence of nature on children's play, and how to keep children as safe as necessary, not as safe as possible, and why this distinction matters so much. Dr. Mariana Brussoni is a Professor at the University of British Columbia, Director of the Human Early Learning Partnership, and a founding member of Outdoor Play Canada. Topics covered include injury statistics and play, the concept of affordances, discussion of the term risky play vs adventurous play, special challenges for allowing risky play in schools and child care centers, how free play develops social skills, how understanding of consent relates to play experiences, play as evolved need, the importance of age mixing, the influence of family and culture on play and risk perception, how to recalibrate our expectations of what children are capable of, the influence of having enough time for free play, Jonathan Haidt's book The Anxious Generation where Mariana's research plays a prominent role, how infrastructure influences the possibility of play, individual responsibility versus social and cultural change, how to create more space for play in schools, risk benefit assessments, children's own risk assessments, and much more. For an overview of the topic, see Mariana Brussoni's excellent article on Jonathan Haidt's Substack After Babel: Why Children Need Risk, Fear, and Excitement in Play, published Feb 28, 2024: https://www.afterbabel.com/p/why-children-need-risk-fear-and-excitement Or this article on OECDs website, on outdoor risky play: https://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/sites/1b5847ec-en/index.html?itemId=/content/component/1b5847ec-en#wrapper For an overview of Mariana Brussoni's publications: https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=53LNwqwAAAAJ&hl=en Other books and resources: See outsideplay.org for lots of resources for parents and teachers, as well as ongoing research projects Dodd, Helen F., Rachel J.

Barbara Natterson-Horowitz and Kathryn Bowers, authors of the book Wildhood, explain the four needs of every adolescent as they transition to healthy adults. Plus, the surprising biology behind teen risk-taking behavior, particularly in groups!Exercise: Create a "Status Sanctuary"As Barbara and Kathryn discuss, the teen brain is primed to climb the status ladder. Teens are usually at the bottom of hierarchies with more experienced adults at the top making rules. Because of this, adolescents are constantly stressed about status. If your teen has ever acted like losing a friend or getting in a fight with a friend is “life or death,” according to Barbara and Kathryn, for teen's brains, it truly feels that way.To help relieve the constant underlying anxiety due to status climbing, Kathryn and Barbara suggest creating a “status sanctuary” where teens can be free from constant comparison. It doesn't have to be a spa-like experience, but it should ideally be done alone and sans technology. For your teen a status sanctuary might be something active, like going for a run or a hike. Or maybe they enjoy doing art, crafting, or baking. Encourage your teen to take a “status sanctuary” and offer to give them a room/space completely to themselves for one hour if needed. Remember, no looking at social media or scrolling through old text messages as both are social-status centered activities.

While it is commonly assumed that prevalent health issues like heart disease, obesity, and depression are uniquely human experiences, they exist across multiple species.Despite the undeniable connection rooted in our shared animal nature, a perceptible barrier remains between human and veterinary medicine and psychology, often driven by the notion of human exceptionalism.Barbara Natterson-Horowitz is a cardiologist, Professor of Medicine in the Division of Cardiology at UCLA, a visiting professor in the Department of Human Evolutionary Biology at Harvard University, as well as a New York Times bestselling author. Her latest book “Wildhood” examines the surprising parallels of adolescent humans and animals in navigating risk and social hierarchies, how to connect romantically, and how to live independently.Barbara and Greg talk about the importance of removing the blindfold of human exceptionalism and a cross-species approach to medicine and psychology, which includes veterinary and evolutionary perspectives, to gain valuable insights from other species.*unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:What are the core competencies of being an adult?54:24: Adolescence occurs across vertebrates, and even—we studied lobsters, crayfish, and so on—invertebrates. And that we decided to make the definition our own, and this was based on a number of studies that we did to figure out what are the core competencies of being an adult. And we said, "Okay, it starts with puberty. And it ends when an animal has mastered four core competencies, which are staying safe, learning to navigate social structures and hierarchies, learning to communicate sexually, not have sex because, as we say, copulation is easy, courtship is hard, and then finally learning to feed yourself and be independent.The connection between human and animal medicine57:47: If you ask physicians today what is the connection between human and animal medicine, they'll say infection; they'll say what is called zoonosis; and what they'll leave out are the connections around heart disease and psychiatry, which is mental health.What is most likely to kill wild animals?23:15: The risk of starvation is a clear and present danger when you look at what is most likely to kill wild animals. And there is some debate about what is the greatest danger. And it probably varies, but starvation, predation, and infection are definitely high up there. And the three interact. So starvation is a clear and present danger to survival.Recognizing biodiversity21:02: Part of biodiversity is physiologic diversity, and part of physiologic diversity is neurophysiologic diversity, and neurophysiologic diversity shapes behavior. So there's this continuity that I don't think most psychotherapists and psychiatrists are sufficiently aware of.Show Links:Guest Profile:Faculty Profile at UCLABarbara Natterson-Horowitz's WebsiteBarbara Natterson-Horowitz on LinkedInBarbara Natterson-Horowitz on TwitterBarbara Natterson-Horowitz on TEDMEDHer Work:Wildhood: The Astounding Connections between Human and Animal AdolescentsZoobiquity: The Astonishing Connection Between Human and Animal Health by Barbara Natterson-Horowitz & Kathryn BowersBarbara Natterson-Horowitz on Google Scholar

Att vara tonåring handlar inte sällan om att pröva gränser och pendla mellan myndigt och barnsligt beteende, med jämnåriga. Malin Krutmeijer ser hur människor och andra djur förenas i vuxenblivandet. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Ursprungligen publicerad den 19 februari 2020. På en tågresa hem från Tyskland slog sig en grupp ungdomar ner i fyrsätet bredvid mitt. De var tre tjejer och en kille, gissningsvis 18-19 år gamla. De kastade sig över ett paket chokladkex som hungriga vargar. Deras intensiva samtal varvade snabbt upp till tordönsnivå, avbrutet endast av våldsamma fnissattacker. En tjej löste upp sin hästsvans och slängde sin praktfulla hårman rätt över mittgången så att den, utan att hon märkte det, nuddade smörgåsen som jag med vuxen diskretion satt och mumsade på. Folk omkring började utbyta blickar och smacka ogillande med tungan. Sedan fick en annan av flickorna telefon, och då gav hon plötsligt direktiv i luren på ett oerhört professionellt sätt. Det lät som att det var någon från jobbet som ringde, och betraktade henne som en auktoritet. Efter telefonsamtalet började hon, skrikande och skrattande, skojbrottas med killen som satt bredvid henne. De var med andra ord fyra helt normala ungdomar i fasen mellan pubertet och vuxen. Inte bara det: om vi ska tro evolutionsbiologen Barbara Natterson-Horowitz och vetenskapsjournalisten Kathryn Bowers så var de väldigt lika de flesta djur i samma livsfas. Alltifrån pingviner till knölvalar, apor och människor går igenom denna mognadsperiod, då de framstår som ömsom yviga och våghalsiga, ömsom vuxna och balanserade, och väldigt orienterade mot andra jämnåriga. I sin bok ”Wildhood: an epic journey from adolescence to adulthood in humans and other animals” driver författarna tesen att ungdomstiden är artöverskridande och universell. Adolescensen definierar de som den sociala och mentala mognadsprocess som fortsätter i flera år efter puberteten. Boken dignar av exempel från djurriket, alla baserade på forskningsstudier. Författarnas jämförande infallsvinkel är inspirerad av antropologen Margaret Mead, särskilt hennes klassiker ”Coming of age in Samoa” från 1928. Men Natterson-Horowitz och Bowers tar alltså det komparativa perspektivet vidare, och inkluderar djurens värld. Det är smått revolutionerande, men mot fonden av annan forskning om djurs kommunikation, känsloliv och intellektuella förmågor så är det kanske inte så anmärkningsvärt ändå. De senaste årens populärvetenskapliga litteratur berättar saker som att grisar kan reflektera över sin individuella existens, och att bläckfiskar pratar med varandra genom komplicerade färgsignaler. Så varför skulle deras ungdom inte kunna dela många grundläggande drag med vår? Författarna identifierar fyra centrala färdigheter som ungdomar av alla arter behöver tillskansa sig. De måste hålla sig i säkerhet, kunna navigera i sociala hierarkier, lära sig att uttrycka sin sexualitet och förstå sexuella signaler, och klara av att lämna boet och försörja sig själv. För att träna på allt detta ger de sig ut på äventyr, helst ihop med andra i samma ålder. Och man kan säga att det var just dessa saker som ungdomarna bredvid mig på tåget höll på med. De var tyskar på väg till Danmark – ett litet äventyr en bit hemifrån. De reste i grupp, och var därför mycket tryggare än om de hade gett sig iväg var för sig. Om någon hotade dem skulle de till exempel kunna göra som unga laxar: vända sig om i en koordinerad formation och skrämma bort angriparen. Tjejen som fick telefon från jobbet försörjde kanske redan sig själv. Hon framstod också som en oomstridd ledargestalt i gruppen. Det var hon som pratade med tågkonduktören, och det var hon som tog initiativ till kortspel och chokladkexätande. Det var dessutom hon som skojbrottades med gruppens kille – och finns det något mer klassiskt beteende bland halvstora däggdjursvalpar än skojbrottning? Min egen hund strålade av lycka när han i ettårsåldern umgicks med en lika muskulös och brottningssugen tik i samma ålder. Så tränar, enligt ”Wildhood”, unga djur inför strid men också konflikthantering. De skapar starka band med varandra när de brottas. Man skulle kunna lägga till att det ibland också kan vara ett sätt att aningen klumpigt signalera sexuellt intresse. En annan sak som unga gör är något som Natterson-Horowitz och Bowers kallar ”predator inspection”, att undersöka rovdjur eller mer generellt faror. När fladdermöss i den här åldern hör ett varningsrop från en vuxen artfrände kan de reagera med att flyga rakt mot faran. De vill se vad det är. Själv tänker jag osökt på hur jag och mina kompisar i början av 80-talet ringde den så kallade ”Heta linjen”. Det var ett primitivt förstadium till sociala medier, där alla som ringde kunde prata samtidigt med varandra i telefon. Givetvis kryllade där av snuskiga gubbar, tyvärr just en typ av fara som flickor i tonåren behöver lära sig att identifiera. Vi inspekterade så att säga rovdjuren tillsammans, på avstånd och i trygg gemenskap. Den här tendensen att söka upp faror oroar vuxenvärlden, åtminstone den mänskliga. De vuxna kungspingviner som skildras i ”Wildhood” tittar däremot inte ens när deras avkomma kastar sig i havet som är fullt av pingvinätande sjöleoparder. Men den mänskliga adolescensen har traditionellt varit kringgärdad av kontrollinstanser. Det kan handla om alltifrån passageriter där ungdomarna möter olika utmaningar under kontrollerade former, till att tvinga väldigt unga flickor in i äktenskap. I samtida, uttalat moderna samhällen är balansgången delikat på ett annat sätt. Det finns en förväntan på ungdomar att de ska vara kreativa och rebelliska, men de får ju å andra sidan helst inte göra revolution eller bli helt depraverade. Minns utbrotten av så kallad moralpanik över dansbanorna, videovåldet, hårdrocken och dataspelen. Plötsligt känner sig vuxenvärlden alltför främmande för ungdomskulturen och drabbas av panik – i regel förgäves. Natterson-Horowitz och Bowers är för sin del mest oroade över internet och sociala medier. Där pågår, menar de, dag och natt en stenhård statuskamp bland unga, som de aldrig får vila ifrån. I djurens värld varierar det mellan arterna hur hierarkisk deras sociala värld är, men alla behöver lära sig hur man navigerar bland rangordningar och statusmarkörer. Den mest fantastiska historien i boken är den om hyenavalpen Shrinks klassresa. Hyenor lever i starkt hierarkiska flockar, och Shrink föddes på botten. Hans mamma var mycket ranglåg, och till råga på allt hade han en dominant tvillingsyster. Faktum var att Shrink låg illa till för att dö av svält. Men när han hamnade i ett slags ungdomslya, där hyenaföräldrar placerar sina valpar när de nått en viss ålder, började han omedelbart ta initiativ till så kallade vänskapspromenader. Att gå på tur ihop är ett viktigt sätt för hyenor att skapa sociala band, och Shrink blev en uppskattad promenadpartner bland sina jämnåriga. Efter ett tag lyckades han dessutom övertala flockens obestridliga ledare, ”hyenadrottningen” kallas hon i boken, om att han också skulle få dia jämte hennes egen valp. Shrink fick nu näringsrik mat och många vänner. Han kom att leva ett bekvämt liv någonstans i mitten av flockens hierarki. Vad ska vi då dra för slutsatser av allt det här? Att social kompetens i vissa lägen kan rädda ens liv. Att bakom ungdomars påfrestande stökighet döljs en avancerad mognadsprocess. Och att snart sagt varje ny forskningsstudie om djurs beteenden och förmågor för dem närmare oss människor.

https://nwcwebinars.com/ Why do music supervisors choose the songs they do for TV shows, movies, and commercials? And how do those songs get licensed, and for how much? How do music supervisors even do their job? How do indie artists pitch to music supervisors? For Canadian Musician and NWC's free September 2022 webinar, Editor-in-Chief Michael Raine was joined by one of Canada's most esteemed music supervisors to answer these questions and lots more. They address all aspects of music supervision and sync licensing from both the artist's and music supervisor's perspective. This week on the Canadian Musician Podscast, we're sharing that informative conversation, including the audience Q&A. Cody Partridge is the President and Lead Music Supervisor at Pear Tree Music Supervision.

This episode is a reminiscence sparked by some photos taken over 60 years ago. I'm pretty sure my father took the photos, because I can't remember him ever being without a camera. So, thanks dad, I love these. I only wish you were around so I could tell you. The color photo is mine of our daughters Katy and Sarah in the Gila National Forest where we used to summer camp. Kids and nature. And finally, thanks to Cricky for the friendship so many years ago and to Ms. Mesquitey for the friendship now and onward.
In this episode, we're chatting with Laura Matthews from Wildhood Bush Kindy in Wooloongong, NSW about the hurdles and perks of starting your own Wild Business.
Cardiologist and evolutionary biologist Dr. Barbara Natterson-Horowitz describes herself as an innovator for human health. She is a professor at Harvard University's department of human evolutionary biology and a professor of medicine at UCLA. She's also the co-author of bestselling books Zoobiquity and Wildhood. Dr. Natterson-Horowitz studies a range of wild animals including lions and giraffes in their natural settings, observing their evolutionary adaptations, which then offer clues for potential solutions to common medical disorders in humans. She says the biology of some female animals has evolved over centuries to resist diseases that still claim the lives of women today.
We're delighted to be tackling a new queer Canadian Indigenous film with Bretten Hannam's Wildhood (2021).Featuring great teen performances and picturesque Nova Scotia landscapes, this road trip movie about a pair of two-spirited Mi'kmaw boys is beautifully shot by cinematographer Guy Godfree (Giant Little Ones). We have some quibbles with the leisurely pacing, the sex scene and the arbitrary use of subtitles, but we're happy to see another side of Atlantic Canadian represented onscreen.Reference: Herb Wyile.

Bretten Hannam has been working on Wildhood, in one way or another, for the past decade, pausing to make multiple short films and their debut feature, North Mountain (2015), an experience that took years itself to recover from. Wildhood is the story of a Two-Spirit Mi'kmaq teen who sets off to find the mother he thought was dead, a gorgeously rendered, gentle journey of self-discovery. In 2020 it became the first feature film to shoot in Nova Scotia in a post-COVID world. Brett stopped in on their way to the film's world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival to chat challenges, considerations of community, and opening FIN tonight.

Att vara tonåring handlar inte sällan om att pröva gränser och pendla mellan myndigt och barnsligt beteende, med jämnåriga. Malin Krutmeijer ser hur människor och andra djur förenas i vuxenblivandet. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Ursprungligen publicerad den 19 februari 2020. På en tågresa hem från Tyskland slog sig en grupp ungdomar ner i fyrsätet bredvid mitt. De var tre tjejer och en kille, gissningsvis 18-19 år gamla. De kastade sig över ett paket chokladkex som hungriga vargar. Deras intensiva samtal varvade snabbt upp till tordönsnivå, avbrutet endast av våldsamma fnissattacker. En tjej löste upp sin hästsvans och slängde sin praktfulla hårman rätt över mittgången så att den, utan att hon märkte det, nuddade smörgåsen som jag med vuxen diskretion satt och mumsade på. Folk omkring började utbyta blickar och smacka ogillande med tungan. Sedan fick en annan av flickorna telefon, och då gav hon plötsligt direktiv i luren på ett oerhört professionellt sätt. Det lät som att det var någon från jobbet som ringde, och betraktade henne som en auktoritet. Efter telefonsamtalet började hon, skrikande och skrattande, skojbrottas med killen som satt bredvid henne. De var med andra ord fyra helt normala ungdomar i fasen mellan pubertet och vuxen. Inte bara det: om vi ska tro evolutionsbiologen Barbara Natterson-Horowitz och vetenskapsjournalisten Kathryn Bowers så var de väldigt lika de flesta djur i samma livsfas. Alltifrån pingviner till knölvalar, apor och människor går igenom denna mognadsperiod, då de framstår som ömsom yviga och våghalsiga, ömsom vuxna och balanserade, och väldigt orienterade mot andra jämnåriga. I sin bok Wildhood: an epic journey from adolescence to adulthood in humans and other animals driver författarna tesen att ungdomstiden är artöverskridande och universell. Adolescensen definierar de som den sociala och mentala mognadsprocess som fortsätter i flera år efter puberteten. Boken dignar av exempel från djurriket, alla baserade på forskningsstudier. Författarnas jämförande infallsvinkel är inspirerad av antropologen Margaret Mead, särskilt hennes klassiker Coming of age in Samoa från 1928. Men Natterson-Horowitz och Bowers tar alltså det komparativa perspektivet vidare, och inkluderar djurens värld. Det är smått revolutionerande, men mot fonden av annan forskning om djurs kommunikation, känsloliv och intellektuella förmågor så är det kanske inte så anmärkningsvärt ändå. De senaste årens populärvetenskapliga litteratur berättar saker som att grisar kan reflektera över sin individuella existens, och att bläckfiskar pratar med varandra genom komplicerade färgsignaler. Så varför skulle deras ungdom inte kunna dela många grundläggande drag med vår? Författarna identifierar fyra centrala färdigheter som ungdomar av alla arter behöver tillskansa sig. De måste hålla sig i säkerhet, kunna navigera i sociala hierarkier, lära sig att uttrycka sin sexualitet och förstå sexuella signaler, och klara av att lämna boet och försörja sig själv. För att träna på allt detta ger de sig ut på äventyr, helst ihop med andra i samma ålder. Och man kan säga att det var just dessa saker som ungdomarna bredvid mig på tåget höll på med. De var tyskar på väg till Danmark ett litet äventyr en bit hemifrån. De reste i grupp, och var därför mycket tryggare än om de hade gett sig iväg var för sig. Om någon hotade dem skulle de till exempel kunna göra som unga laxar: vända sig om i en koordinerad formation och skrämma bort angriparen. Tjejen som fick telefon från jobbet försörjde kanske redan sig själv. Hon framstod också som en oomstridd ledargestalt i gruppen. Det var hon som pratade med tågkonduktören, och det var hon som tog initiativ till kortspel och chokladkexätande. Det var dessutom hon som skojbrottades med gruppens kille och finns det något mer klassiskt beteende bland halvstora däggdjursvalpar än skojbrottning? Min egen hund strålade av lycka när han i ettårsåldern umgicks med en lika muskulös och brottningssugen tik i samma ålder. Så tränar, enligt Wildhood, unga djur inför strid men också konflikthantering. De skapar starka band med varandra när de brottas. Man skulle kunna lägga till att det ibland också kan vara ett sätt att aningen klumpigt signalera sexuellt intresse. En annan sak som unga gör är något som Natterson-Horowitz och Bowers kallar predator inspection, att undersöka rovdjur eller mer generellt faror. När fladdermöss i den här åldern hör ett varningsrop från en vuxen artfrände kan de reagera med att flyga rakt mot faran. De vill se vad det är. Själv tänker jag osökt på hur jag och mina kompisar i början av 80-talet ringde den så kallade Heta linjen. Det var ett primitivt förstadium till sociala medier, där alla som ringde kunde prata samtidigt med varandra i telefon. Givetvis kryllade där av snuskiga gubbar, tyvärr just en typ av fara som flickor i tonåren behöver lära sig att identifiera. Vi inspekterade så att säga rovdjuren tillsammans, på avstånd och i trygg gemenskap. Den här tendensen att söka upp faror oroar vuxenvärlden, åtminstone den mänskliga. De vuxna kungspingviner som skildras i Wildhood tittar däremot inte ens när deras avkomma kastar sig i havet som är fullt av pingvinätande sjöleoparder. Men den mänskliga adolescensen har traditionellt varit kringgärdad av kontrollinstanser. Det kan handla om alltifrån passageriter där ungdomarna möter olika utmaningar under kontrollerade former, till att tvinga väldigt unga flickor in i äktenskap. I samtida, uttalat moderna samhällen är balansgången delikat på ett annat sätt. Det finns en förväntan på ungdomar att de ska vara kreativa och rebelliska, men de får ju å andra sidan helst inte göra revolution eller bli helt depraverade. Minns utbrotten av så kallad moralpanik över dansbanorna, videovåldet, hårdrocken och dataspelen. Plötsligt känner sig vuxenvärlden alltför främmande för ungdomskulturen och drabbas av panik i regel förgäves. Natterson-Horowitz och Bowers är för sin del mest oroade över internet och sociala medier. Där pågår, menar de, dag och natt en stenhård statuskamp bland unga, som de aldrig får vila ifrån. I djurens värld varierar det mellan arterna hur hierarkisk deras sociala värld är, men alla behöver lära sig hur man navigerar bland rangordningar och statusmarkörer. Den mest fantastiska historien i boken är den om hyenavalpen Shrinks klassresa. Hyenor lever i starkt hierarkiska flockar, och Shrink föddes på botten. Hans mamma var mycket ranglåg, och till råga på allt hade han en dominant tvillingsyster. Faktum var att Shrink låg illa till för att dö av svält. Men när han hamnade i ett slags ungdomslya, där hyenaföräldrar placerar sina valpar när de nått en viss ålder, började han omedelbart ta initiativ till så kallade vänskapspromenader. Att gå på tur ihop är ett viktigt sätt för hyenor att skapa sociala band, och Shrink blev en uppskattad promenadpartner bland sina jämnåriga. Efter ett tag lyckades han dessutom övertala flockens obestridliga ledare, hyenadrottningen kallas hon i boken, om att han också skulle få dia jämte hennes egen valp. Shrink fick nu näringsrik mat och många vänner. Han kom att leva ett bekvämt liv någonstans i mitten av flockens hierarki. Vad ska vi då dra för slutsatser av allt det här? Att social kompetens i vissa lägen kan rädda ens liv. Att bakom ungdomars påfrestande stökighet döljs en avancerad mognadsprocess. Och att snart sagt varje ny forskningsstudie om djurs beteenden och förmågor för dem närmare oss människor.

Coming of age can be a trying time both for those going through it and those trying to help adolescents make the journey into adulthood as safe and satisfying as possible. In the animal kingdom, it turns out, there are many commonalities among species in that regard. In the book ‘Wildhood', Dr. Barbara Natterson-Horowitz … Continue reading EP 304 Understanding the Lives of Teens in the Period of Wildhood
In this show, Barbara Natterson-Horowitz, MD, visiting professor in the Department of Human Evolutionary Biology at Harvard University and Kathryn Bowers, Science Journalist, draw upon their new book, Wildhood: The Epic Journey From Adolescence to Adulthood in Humans and Other Animals, to share their five year study of adolescence across species. What they find is as startling as it is important. Adolescents, be they the teens in our homes, or the animals across the globe, reveal striking similarities in their physical and emotional journey from being juveniles to adults. From bottlenose dolphins to red-tailed hawks to humans, adolescents have more in common with one another than with their mature parents or younger siblings. They are in the “ Wildhood” negotiating four core challenges- Safety, Status, Sexuality and Self-Reliance. The behaviors of a naïve penguin, a charismatic hyena, an adventurous humpback whale, and a restless wolf, will sound strikingly similar to human teens.
Only on the "CBS This Morning" podcast, psychologist and CBS News contributor Lisa Damour talks with the authors of "Wildhood: The Epic Journey from Adolescence to Adulthood in Humans and Other Animals." Barbara Natterson-Horowitz and Kathryn Bowers explain how studying wild animals can help us better understand the growing pains of teenagers. They make connections between behaviors seen in the animal kingdom and how they relate to anxiety disorders, sexual coercion and self-reliance in humans.
