Strong Girls, Strong Parents (Paperback)

Your teenage daughter hasn’t lost her mind, and neither have you. So says Strong Girls, Strong Parents: A Guide to Raising Teenage Girls in a New Era, a handbook written by a clinician with more than fifteen years of experience helping teens and their parents to develop a healthier way of communicating.

The growing pains your daughter is experiencing are real—and are complicated by the daily pressure she feels from peers, the social media, and pop culture to conform to a certain standard. This book provides you with a wealth of information to help you to understand how today’s culture complicates the natural changes your daughter is experiencing emotionally and physically as she transitions to adulthood. It also includes exercises to equip you with tools you need to help your daughter better manage the sometimes difficult life stage of being a teenage girl. Strong Girls, Strong Parents tackles the following topics:

• Self-esteem
• Personal identity
• Body image
• Cyberbullying
• Partying
• Dating
• Blended families
• Self-injury

Once you fully understand the challenges your daughter is facing, as she grows up in today’s world, you will better understand what makes her tick. And you will be better equipped to help her find her way through these tough years to become a confident and healthy young woman.
