Untangled by Lisa Lamour, PhD was both a blessing and a curse. I say this because it truly has some of the most helpful information you can possibly get about raising teen/tween daughters and I would recommend it to anyone. However, with all the advice and information thrown at me about how to handle situations, I felt overwhelmed.
Why did I feel overwhelmed? My daughter is a tween but thinks like a teen (help!!). While reading this book, I felt like I had been screwing this up pretty bad already. Also, once I was done with the book and all these awesome new techniques I was suppose to use – well…lets just say old habits die hard. This is a work in progress people!
Reading this book and realizing I should have handled my girl differently, made me feel bad. If I had never read this, I wouldn’t have known I screwed it up! Hahaha. So, I realized slow change is how I should deal with my pretend teen (she’s a tween remember). Now, I take all the info this book has given me and apply it if I can and don’t beat myself up if I don’t get it right.
I have been a middle school teacher for nearly 15 years, and I can confidently say that some of the most significant shifts in education have aligned with the awareness of mental health challenges taxing our teens and how to support them. Under Pressure by Dr. Lisa Damour is a refreshing look at stress and anxiety, and explores how we as parents and educators can help our girls during their tumultuous teenage years. I was fortunate enough to see Dr. Damour speak a few months ago on her book tour. I took pages of notes during her presentation with ideas of how I can best support my students, and I couldn’t wait to read her book for more. While Dr. Damour focuses her work on girls, I found so much in her speech, and in her book, helpful for both boys and girls.
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.This book is a LIFE CHANGER. It’s as good as therapy for me. I highlighted 77 passages within this book which is a personal record. I have a new outlook on parenting, on teen girls, and my approach to parenting my daughters.It’s the most practical explanation of female adolescence for parents today. This book is a MUST READ for every parent with a tween or teenage girl. Dr. Damour works with teenage girls in her counseling practice and her outlook is reassuring and refreshing.
