Publisher's summary

Leading clinical psychologist Lisa Damour identifies the seven key phases marking the journey from girlhood to womanhood, and offers practical advice for those raising teenage girls.

We expect an enormous amount from our teenage girls in a world where they are bombarded with messages about how they should look, behave, succeed. Yet we also speak as though adolescence is a nightmare rollercoaster ride for both parent and child, to be endured rather than enjoyed.

In Untangled, world authority and clinical psychologist Lisa Damour provides an accessible, detailed, comprehensive guide to parenting teenage girls. She believes there is a predictable blueprint for how girls grow; seven easily recognisable "strands" of transition from childhood through adolescence and on to adulthood. Girls naturally develop at different rates, typically on more than one front, and the transition will be unique to every girl.

Each chapter describes a phase, such as "contending with adult authority" and "entering the romantic world", with hints and tips for parents and daughters, and a 'when to worry' section. Damour writes sympathetically and clearly, providing a practical and helpful guide for any parent, and for teenage girls too.

An absolute MUST READ for any parent or care giver

They day raising children doesn't come with a manual but Lisa has really gone to great lengths to try give parents and care givers an easy to understand 'manual' to understanding what is going on with our adolescent girls, how to approach various situations, when to be concerned and what to say. I listened to it from stay to finish and now I'm going to listen to it again, making notes that I can go back to.

in the last 2 weeks that I've been listening to the audio book, I have already applied so many of the revelations I have learnt and my relationship with my eldest daughter is already MUCH better. I cannot recommend this book enough!!!!

Worldly view

I was looking for Christian biblical teen raising advice. The content has a wide worldly view on raising teen daughters, with some snippets of good advice in the first couple of chapters about peers and communication. The chapters on relationships and romance doesn't have biblical advice.
