LEARN MORE:

A child’s brain is not fully developed until around 25 years old, though different parts mature at different times:

• Early childhood (0–5 years): Massive brain development occurs—especially in language, emotion regulation, and sensory processing.

• Middle childhood (6–12 years): Cognitive skills like memory, attention, and logic improve steadily.

• Adolescence (13–19 years): The brain undergoes a second growth spurt. The limbic system (emotions and rewards) matures earlier, while the prefrontal cortex (decision-making, impulse control, planning) lags behind.

• Early adulthood (20–25 years): The prefrontal cortex finally finishes developing, which is why judgment, risk assessment, and self-regulation improve.

So while kids and teens can be very capable, their brains are still wiring up the most complex functions until their mid-20s.
