by Lucie Hemmen, PhD

The teenage years can be stressful but Lucie Hemmen, a licensed psychologist, has written a wonderful book to help teen girls cope with these difficult teen years. In this informative book, teen girls will learn things like how to deal with social media stress, how to communicate better with their friends, how to deal with self-esteem issues and how to develop better decision making skills.

The author specializes in teen issues and has worked with many teen girls over the years. A nice addition to this book is the feedback from older teens who have survived their teenage years. They share their experiences, both good and bad, and their tips will be very helpful for younger teens. This fun book has self-awareness exercises, puzzles and quizzes after each chapter to help teens gain insight into their lives. Teens will learn how to develop new skills and how to build on their existing strengths.

The down to earth tips and tools provided in The Teen Girl’s Survival Guide will help teen girls become more self-aware and will give them the tools they need to form healthy, confident relationships.

Recommended for Grades 8 -12.
