Our Review

*A New York Times bestseller!* An urgently needed guide to help parents understand their teenagers' intense and often fraught emotional lives – and how to support them through this critical developmental stage – from the New York Times bestselling author of Untangled and Under Pressure In teenagers, powerful emotions come with the territory. And with so many of today's teens contending with academic pressure, social media stress, worries about the future, and concerns about their own mental health, it's easy for them – and their parents – to feel anxious and overwhelmed. But it doesn't have to be that way. With clear, research-informed explanations alongside illuminating, real-life examples, The Emotional Lives of Teenagers gives parents the concrete, practical information they need to steady their teens through the bumpy yet transformational journey into adulthood.
