This book provides a comprehensive overview of 7 states of development in adolescent girls. I found the information to be valuable, and in each chapter, the author discusses what's normal and then ends with a "When You Should Worry" section. Although filled with much practical advice, I felt that the author to some extent was inconsistent in regard to her parenting approaches. Moreover, I felt that there was so much nuance in how to handle these matters that it appeared as if only a professional like herself could work through the myriad issues that teenage girls face. These things made me feel less confident in my ability to parent in those areas than how I usually feel after reading other parenting books.

I am still a few years out before most of stuff kicks in at home so I'll continue to learn more about the subject. Even so, I would recommend this book as a good place to start for parents.
