so much of what people attribute to like inherent biological differences between age groups is a lot more just the result of having different amounts of life experience. is that teenager functionally brain damaged because their brain is "underdeveloped" or have they only been alive for 14 years and thus do not have the same amount of practical experience + wisdom to draw on when dealing with difficult situations.
Is that toddler "overreacting" to losing his favorite toy by crying uncontrollably or is it genuinely the worst thing he's ever experienced because he's only been alive for two years?
Is that teenager "hormonal" because she's obsessed with a boy or is it just the first time she's felt this kind of love?
Is that child "stupid" because they can't figure out a basic problem or is it just the first time they've seen that problem?
I'm more equipped to handle those experiences because I've dealt with them before, not because my brain is more developed or because I'm smarter or inherently a better person. It's their first time being alive, give them a break. Its also your first time being alive, give yourself a break
Exactly when ‘developing’ and ‘maturation’ ends is tricky to pin down. The human is essentially an assemblage of many different regions, of varying degrees of complexity, maturing at different rates. But even if we focus on the frontal lobe, where all the reasoning and thinking occurs (mostly), it’s still very important to remember that brain development isn’t like the building of a house. You don't have to wait until all the walls and floors are done, the plumbing is sorted out and the electrics are installed before it can be used. Before you can actually live in it. It’s more like evolution. There were many evolutionary species between the primitive rodent-like creatures that were the first mammals, and modern-day humans. But each of these stages was, at that point, a fully functional, successful species. There were no unworkable intermediary species, like a rat's torso on a pair of massive bipedal legs.
“The brain is always in somewhat of a dynamic state. There are certain developmental periods where it’s more dynamic than others, such as the teenage years and young adulthood. But you can’t say it gets to a certain point and is mature. The brain continues to mature in different ways throughout your life. And whether a brain is mature, or finished with those dynamic states of development you see in adolescence, may not be the right question—especially if we are considering society and public policy. Perhaps we should be asking a different question, which is, ‘What is the average age at which human beings are likely to make rational decisions about important events in their lives?’” And the answer is going to be, ‘It depends.’ It depends on the person, the kind of decision you are trying to make, and what’s happening around you when you are trying to make that decision. Context is important. All those factors play a role and influence how well you can make those decisions.”

adhd is fun bc everything I got taught is backwards
a good day makes good sleep
starting with a lil treat gets the work done
More things to do is less overwhelming
don’t make a plan just get in there
you’ll never take good care of what you don’t like so throw it out (this one is my favorite bc it’s easy to see what you don’t like)
Incredible addition
don’t put the thing on the shelf put the shelf under the thing
