Overview
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * An award-winning guide to the sometimes erratic and confusing behavior of teenage girls from the author of Under Pressure and The Emotional Lives of Teenagers Dr. Lisa Damour worked as an expert collaborator on Pixar's Inside Out 2 !
"The most down-to-earth, readable parenting book I've come across in a long time."-- The Washington Post In this sane, highly engaging, and informed guide for parents of daughters, Dr. Damour draws on decades of experience and the latest research to reveal the seven distinct--and absolutely normal--developmental transitions that turn girls into grown-ups, including Parting with Childhood, Contending with Adult Authority, Entering the Romantic World, and Caring for Herself. Providing realistic scenarios and welcome advice on how to engage daughters in smart, constructive ways, Untangled gives parents a broad framework for understanding their daughters while addressing their most common questions, including * My thirteen-year-old rolls her eyes when I try to talk to her, and only does it more when I get angry with her about it. How should I respond? * Do I tell my teen daughter that I'm checking her phone? * My daughter suffers from test anxiety. What can I do to help her? * Where's the line between healthy eating and having an eating disorder? * My teenage daughter wants to know why I'm against pot when it's legal in some states. What should I say? * My daughter's friend is cutting herself. Do I call the girl's mother to let her know? Perhaps most important, Untangled helps mothers and fathers understand, connect, and grow with their daughters. When parents know what makes their daughter tick, they can embrace and enjoy the challenge of raising a healthy, happy young woman. BOOKS FOR A BETTER LIFE AWARD WINNER

Professional Reviews
"This is the book parents have been waiting, hoping, and praying for, because it's far more than a book. It's a map, flashlight, and GPS device for navigating the landscape of adolescent girlhood. Dr. Lisa Damour proves to be the perfect guide and companion: wise, whip-smart, and relentlessly practical on every page. As the father of three teenage girls, I wish I had this book years ago--and I hope that it is read by every parent, teacher, coach, administrator, and human being who wants to help girls grow and thrive in today's world." --Daniel Coyle, New York Times bestselling author of The Talent Code
"In exceptionally clear prose, Damour--a clinical psychologist--skillfully blends research analysis, psychological insight, and stories of girls and their families into a compelling narrative about what's right about our daughters. She illuminates the seven transitions that girls must untangle to become fully themselves, with each offering a corresponding opportunity for parents to stretch and transform themselves. Throughout, Damour offers unstintingly practical advice to parents about how to talk with their daughters about what matters most and in ways that they are likely to be heard." --Kimberlyn Leary, Ph.D., associate professor, Harvard Medical School; chief psychologist, Cambridge Health Alliance; Robert Wood Johnson Health Policy Fellow
