Answer:
Behavioral strategies parents can use to reduce their children's risk of injury or death.
Motor vehicle accidents remain the leading cause of death for teenagers, accounting for nearly 41% of fatalities in 2004 among young people ages 13 to 19. This deadly toll results, to a large extent, from lack of driving experience, but it also reflects the fact that the teenage brain is still a work in progress. The prefrontal cortex, which contains the neural mechanisms of self-control, is one of the last parts of the brain to mature. As a result, teenagers are prone to risk taking, impulsive behavior, and sensation seeking — all of which can cause trouble behind the wheel of a two- or three-ton vehicle hurtling down a highway.
