Overview
This two-book paperback set brings together psychologist Dr. Lisa Damour's two New York Times bestselling guides for parents and caregivers of teenage girls. Untangled maps the seven key transitions of adolescence, helping families understand mood swings, growing independence, and shifting friendships. Under Pressure tackles the modern stress and anxiety epidemic among girls, distinguishing healthy pressure from harmful overload and offering concrete tools to build resilience. Written in Damour's warm, research-grounded style, both titles translate clinical psychology into everyday, actionable parenting advice, making this collection an essential shelf reference for anyone raising, teaching, or supporting a teenage girl.

About the Books
Dr. Lisa Damour draws on decades of clinical work with adolescent girls to write two companion guides that read as a continuous conversation about girlhood today. Untangled organizes the chaos of the teenage years into seven recognizable developmental transitions, from parting with childhood to gaining perspective, giving parents a map for understanding behavior that can otherwise feel baffling or alarming. Rather than offering rigid rules, Damour teaches parents how to listen, validate feelings, and step back at the right moments so girls can build genuine independence. Under Pressure picks up where Untangled leaves off, addressing the surge in anxiety and stress reported among girls from elementary school through college. Damour explains that some stress is normal and even useful, but shows families how to recognize when pressure has tipped into something harmful, and how factors like sleep, friendships, screen time, and school demands interact to shape a girl's emotional load. Both books are filled with real-world dialogue and classroom- and kitchen-table-tested strategies rather than abstract theory, which is part of why they have resonated so widely with parents, teachers, and counselors. Together, the two titles form a natural pair: one focused on the big picture of growing up, the other on managing the specific stress and anxiety that so often accompanies it. Read individually or as a set, they equip adults with a shared vocabulary and practical toolkit for supporting the girls in their lives through the ordinary and extraordinary challenges of adolescence.
