The Emotional Lives of Teenagers

Raising Connected, Capable, and Compassionate Adolescents

In teenagers, powerful emotions come with the territory. And with so many of today’s teens contending with academic pressure, social media stress, worries about the future, and concerns about their own mental health, it’s easy for them — and their parents — to feel anxious and overwhelmed. But it doesn’t have to be that way.

In this urgently needed guide, parents will learn what to expect in the normal course of adolescent emotional development and when it’s time to worry; why teens (and adults) need to understand that mental health isn’t about “feeling good” but about having feelings that fit the moment, even if those feelings are unwanted or painful; strategies for supporting teens who feel at the mercy of their emotions so they can become psychologically aware and skilled at managing their feelings; and the best ways to stay connected to their teens and how to provide the kind of relationship that adolescents need and want.

With clear, research-informed explanations alongside illuminating, real-life examples, Lisa Damour, author of Untangled and Under Pressure, gives parents the concrete, practical information they need to steady their teens through the bumpy yet transformational journey into adulthood. This book will help parents understand their teenagers’ intense and often fraught emotional lives — and how to support them through this critical developmental stage.
