How this Program Differs From Others

  • Winning Way for Teens is a program based on a Performance Model that high achievers use, rather than on a medical model that focuses on diagnosable conditions.
  • It provides skills consistent with normal teen brain development that allow for leaps in cognition and adaptability.
  • These skills are fun and easy to learn and implement in real life situations.
  • It provides access to the extraordinary power of the mind to visualize and achieve positive outcomes.

The Teen Brain


The development of the human brain from the teen years through adulthood is a natural and evolutionary process, despite the concerns of parents and teens alike. The adult brain is not developed completely until about age 24. The journey from teenager to independent adult is often challenging, involving the need to adjust to new and changing circumstances as inevitable detours and roadblocks are encountered. All the while, the demand for excellence dominates the landscape.

Winning Ways For Teens is a program that aligns with the teen developing brain by providing navigational tools so that teenagers can confidently and successfully chart their own course through this important transition in their lives. This unique educational program uses a whole-brained approach, combining the strengths of both the left and right brain and results in Mindful Toughness® that helps to translate action plans into positive outcomes.

Testimonials

“Dr. Silverstein works well with teenagers… She worked with my teenage nephew and was able to activate his mind-spirit to perform any task with confidence, diligence, positive thinking, and to prepare an outcome for success. I believe that any teenager would be so helped and made to feel important, worthy, and cared about, and the skills provided would stay in their minds and be a source of help and remediation throughout their entire life.”

– Margaret Emerito, RN

“Through your hard work, I was able to complete my goal of becoming a State Champion. Now I am focusing on what I can control and working on being very clear in the “pressure cooker.” The tools I use on the mat are always right there, A, B, and C. I know what to do and I do it. It really is amazing how much you can accomplish by this. Thank you very much for all that you have taught me and for helping me grow as a person. Your work gave me light. My mind is steel now and I am the most positive person I know! My friends even say it to me. I can wrestle my way through life and become the champion in anything.”

– Kevin Mulligan, 2X NJ State Wrestling Champion
