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.

The bible for parents of girls
Wish I had read this 5 years ago but it’s still so helpful, even half way through the teen parenting rollercoaster.
Sympathetic, insightful and really very helpful.

Wish I’d read this book sooner
If you are the parents of a daughter of 10yrs or so, don’t hesitate to buy this book. The information it contains will prove invaluable in helping you make sense of her behaviour and the journey she is on into adulthood - I only wish I’d discovered this book when my own daughter was younger. The only criticism I have of the book is the constant reference to the American school system (8th grade, 10th grade, middle school, high school and college etc). In the UK these terms Are confusing to the average reader and referring to a child’s age in years instead would make such a difference in understanding a child’s development stages or milestones.
