AlbakiReads Editorial A developmental framework for parenting teenage girls
A developmental framework for parenting teenage girls
Organized around seven developmental transitions, Untangled frames adolescent behavior as part of a longer movement toward adulthood. Lisa Damour addresses shifts such as separating from childhood, navigating adult authority, entering romantic relationships, and taking responsibility for self-care. The guide pairs that framework with everyday family situations, including conflict over communication and phones, school-related anxiety, eating concerns, substance-use conversations, and how to respond when self-harm affects a teen’s peer group. Its central practical concern is how parents can stay connected while responding constructively to growing independence and the complicated questions that arise during the teenage years.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Parents and caregivers of teenage girls
- Families seeking a developmental lens on adolescence
- Adults looking for guidance on conversations about phones, anxiety, eating, relationships, and substance use
Themes
Adolescent developmentParent-daughter communicationIndependence and authorityMental health concernsRomantic and social life

Dr. Lisa Damour worked as an expert collaborator on Pixar's Inside Out 2!
"The most down-to-earth, readable parenting book I've come across in a long time."--The Washington Post
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, including
- My thirteen-year-old rolls her eyes when I try to talk to her, and only does it more when I get angry with her about it. How should I respond?
- Do I tell my teen daughter that I'm checking her phone?
- My daughter suffers from test anxiety. What can I do to help her?
- Where's the line between healthy eating and having an eating disorder?
- My teenage daughter wants to know why I'm against pot when it's legal in some states. What should I say?
- My daughter's friend is cutting herself. Do I call the girl's mother to let her know?
Perhaps most important, Untangled helps mothers and fathers understand, connect, and grow with their daughters. When parents know what makes their daughter tick, they can embrace and enjoy the challenge of raising a healthy, happy young woman.
