Parenting Adolescents

Every day, adolescent girls face a complex and challenging social world influenced by popularity. As parents, we benefit from having the resources to help our daughters navigate times of difficulty and vulnerability because with the right support, these experiences can also deliver girls with their greatest learnings. In this groundbreaking book, clinical psychologist Dr. Mary Kaspar deconstructs popularity and its links to our girls' well-being. She illustrates how the type of popularity that most girls crave is not the type that will improve their lives.

For parents, the onset of adolescence becomes an unexpected, even unwelcome surprise, often bringing bewilderment, confusion, and sadness.

Have you ever wondered how your early life shaped you? From beginning to say simple words like 'mama' and learning how to walk around unaided, to the first day of school and forming new friendships, everyone has been a child. The roots of our adult selves go right back to our first experiences. How we think, act and interact is influenced by our early years, yet most people don't know the key findings from the juiciest child development studies that can give us insight into our adult selves.

In What Drives You?, author Ellen Yashinsky Chute explores how our families shape our roles and our relationships. Learn how your brain developed, how your family dynamics determined your worldview, and how the identity you formed in your family drives you as an adult. This workbook will illuminate how families work while leading you on an eye-opening journey designed to help you understand, accept, and appreciate the unique person you have become. Chute shows that while our childhood identities still drive us as adults, we can learn to turn the wheel in a new direction.
