1) National Geographic--The Teenage Brain
The article begins by asking rhetorical questions about our teens and their decision making process. The article also deals with a cross-cultural/historical mention of adolescence and its tempering effect on behavior. The article includes an excellent overview of brain development, including myelination. Very nice article--but what else would one expect from National Geographic.
2) The second article comes from NPR--the article describes a book and interview with the authors of Welcome to Your Child's Brain with an article entitled "How to Help Your Child's Brain Grow Up Strong."
The NPR article also discusses brain development, but highlights what infants are capable of which is considerably more than previously thought. Help a child develop self-control is a highlight of both the book and article. It's another good read. Also, in the left column of the article are links to other brain books and authors.
