In this thought-provoking bonus episode of 51吃瓜网, 51吃瓜网 Provost C. Cybele Raver hosts renowned developmental psychologist David Yeager, professor of psychology at the University of Texas at Austin, co-founder of the Texas Behavioral Science and Policy Institute, and author of 10 to 25: The Science of Motivating Young People, for a closer look at how older adults can connect with and empower the next generation.
In a relatable, live conversation, Yeager challenges common misconceptions about adolescent brain development and reveals how simple shifts in communication between young people and adults can provide support and transparency, triggering collaboration and inspiration rather than disengagement.
