Description
According to recent statistics cited in this latest book from CBS News contributor and psychologist
Damour (Untangled: Guiding Teenage Girls Through the Seven Transitions into Adulthood), 31
percent of adolescent girls and young women struggle with symptoms of anxiety, experiencing
edginess, fatigue, and changes in appetite, and are three times more likely than boys to be
depressed. Damour testifies to similar conclusions drawn from her private practice and work at an
all-girls school but states that these emotions can also stretch girls beyond their comfort zones in
positive ways. The author addresses areas of strain such as interactions with family, school
struggles, social pressures, relationships, and new tensions added by social media. For each of
these facets, Damour offers suggestions for parents attempting to help their daughters manage
the complexities of life at this age. VERDICT Parents of adolescent girls will find this an excellent
choice for assisting their children in navigating day-to-day stress and struggles.Julia M. Reffner,

stress girls face today, which is often fueled unintentionally by the most well-meaning parents and
teachers. Damour also offers refreshing and research-based practical fixes; itâ€s possible to
normalize pressure, in many cases, and use it in fortifying ways to build strength and confidence.

girls—for everyone!―—Claire Shipman, New York Times bestselling author of The

Untangled knows that Lisa Damour gets girls. This timely sequel brings stunning clarity to the
complicated set of stressors that girls experience—in the classroom, online, with peers, and at
home—and models how to show up as an ally instead of an adversary. Truly a must-read for
parents, teachers, coaches, and mentors wanting to help girls along the path to adulthood.―

“Under Pressure is exactly what parents need and, as a mother, it helped me to relax!
Damour explains the difference between healthy and unhealthy stress and anxiety. She offers a
detailed, comprehensive look at how to help our daughters manage naturally occurring tension,
toxic stress, and anxiety. This brilliant book is a must-read.―—Norah Oâ€Donnell, host,
CBS This Morning “Lisa Damour is my go-to resource for all things raising girls (and I often
apply her wisdom to my boys as well). Under Pressure is Damour at her best, addressing issues
that are challenging our girls, from sexuality and academics to the ways girls speak and present
themselves. Donâ€t be misled by the title; even if you believe your daughter isnâ€t unduly
