Publisher Description
In the vein of Reviving Ophelia and Untangled comes a fresh, necessary, and empowering guide that will result in better understanding, stronger connections, and more meaningful and impactful conversations between parents and daughters.
Written with insight, warmth, and humor, Underestimated is the first parenting book to invite us into a teenage girl’s brain and heart, as told from the point of view of a beloved and trusted mentor. Chelsey Goodan is a highly sought-after academic tutor who has worked with hundreds of girls from all different backgrounds, earning their trust, confidence, and friendship. They in turn have shared with her their innermost concerns, doubts, and what they wish they could communicate with and to their parents.
With topics and language directly chosen by the girls, Goodan reveals how the solutions to a girl’s well-being lie within her. She demonstrates how parents and adults can better support and believe in a teenage girl’s power to discover her own solutions and boldly use her voice to create positive change.
Rather than dismissing teenage girls based on our own fears or treating them as problems that need to be solved, Goodan encourages us as parents, and as a society, to help girls unleash their power and celebrate their intrinsic wisdom. Underestimated shows us how to do this with accessible advice, insightful narratives, and profound wisdom.
