From the author of Untangled comes the essential guide to how we can help our girls manage anxiety and stress - and flourish along their journey to adulthood.

Though anxiety has risen among young people overall, recent studies confirm that it has skyrocketed in girls since the turn of the century - so what's to blame? And how can we help our girls?

In the same engaging, anecdotal style and reassuring tone that won over thousands of readers of her first book, Untangled, clinical psychologist Lisa Damour addresses the facts about psychological pressure before turning to the the many facets of girls' lives where stress hits them hard: the parental expectations they face at home, pressures at school, social anxiety among their peers, and on social media. Guiding us through these areas and more, Damour provides critical coping strategies and top tips that will help our daughters to face their fears and find out just how brave they can be.

After graduating with honours from Yale University, Lisa Damour received her doctorate in Clinical Psychology at the University of Michigan. Based in the US, she has worked for the Yale Child Study Centre and directs the Centre for Research on Girls at Laurel School, maintains a private psychotherapy practice, consults and speaks nationally, is a faculty associate of the Schubert Centre for Child Studies and is a clinical instructor at Case Western Reserve University.
