Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Psychologists Zager and Rubenstein forged a literary partnership after participating in an APA task force on adolescent girls. They surveyed 1,100 parents, educators and teens, asking their concerns about adolescent girls. The result is a book that speaks to both teens and parents. Designed so that one cover opens to a section for parents and, flipped over, the other cover opens to a section for teens, the book treats the most common questions surrounding parenting and adolescent development. Each of the major sections begins with a letter written by a member of the target group (a parent or a teen), and each chapter ends with hot tips. This approach makes for a comprehensive guide to building healthy parent-teen relations and handling the tough times that accompany adolescent years. Among the parenting topics: disciplining with dignity, managing rebellion and parenting through divorce. The teen topics include romantic relationships, low self-esteem and handling schoolwork. Zager and Rubenstein also provide guidelines for what behaviors should be expected when. With advice gathered from observation, the authors caution parents about the pitfalls of raising girls without solid paternal contact. They also admonish parents against laissez-faire parenting, reminding them that children need boundaries and even crave them. The teen advice on dealing with weight and body image, exploring sexuality and accepting or rejecting gender roles is especially strong. Zager and Rubenstein adroitly delve into the minds of parents and teens, and their book will surely inspire harmonious relationships within families.

Review

This readable book gives sensible, warm-hearted advice to girls and their parents. It's written by expert clinicians who use state-of-the-art research and their own experiences with families to answer a wide range of important questions. This book will help the Ophelias of the twenty-first century and their parents. I recommend it. —Dr. Mary Pipher, author of Reviving Ophelia and The Middle of Everywhere

Good Advice for a Single Father
Reviewed in the United States on October 11, 2008
As a single father, I find this book very helpful with questions I have had regarding my 16-year-old daughter who lives with her mother. The book was recommended to me by a family counselor. The only problem I had with the book was the authors' failure to acknowledge the glass ceiling that fathers still have with being involved with their children. The courts (at least in Washington County Minnesota) still regard the mother as the primary caretaker and influence in the childrens' lives. Although they don't always consciously acknowlege this, mothers often relegate the fathers to the status of being sperm banks and checkbooks. In this era of high seperation and divorce, many fathers see very little of their children and as a result, it is always the mother who has the greatest influence upon the childrens' lives and their view of men. This book could have been far better if the authors would been more conscious of this fact.

After reading some of the reviews, I had high hopes for this book, but in reality, this wasn't the book I was looking for. Most of the questions and answers seemed, to me, to be common sense.

Inside Story on Teen Girls
Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2008
Good book....I like the way it's set up with the girl's section on one side and the parent's on the other. Much of it is common sense, but I most appreciated reading it from the kids' point of view.

The Inside Story on Teen Girls
Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2009
This book was very helpful for me, it answered a lot of questions that I have been wondering about. I have a teenage daughter that has virtually changed before my eyes in many ways. I now understand a lot of things that she has been doing and know how to react in these situations.

Something important missing
Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2002
The sections on sexuality discuss only heterosexuality--"boyfriends and girlfriends." There is only one question that I found acknowledging or asking about homosexuality in the book, and that is not even in relation to the question-asker herself or in the context of the relationship discussion. Having been a lesbian teenager, I feel this is a great disservice to all teenagers questioning/developing their sexuality. It is one-sided and takes only the heterosexual teenager under consideration and assumes that every teenaged girl feels the same about boys. The authors and the American Psychological Association should have done better than this.
