Lisa Damour: Understanding Today’s Teenagers

Lisa Damour: Understanding Today’s Teenagers

How hard is it to be a parent today? After a pandemic? With social media breathing down our necks? It’s so hard! Navigating the delicate balance between granting independence and providing guidance can be daunting as a parent.

Dr. Lisa Damour (New York Times bestselling author of The Emotional Lives of Teenagers) has dedicated her life to unraveling the intricacies of adolescence and offering practical, heartfelt advice.

In this conversation, Lisa and Kate:

  • offer a more reassuring definition of mental health (hint: it’s about having the right-sized feelings that fit the situation at hand and managing those feelings effectively).
  • emphasize the importance of being a steady presence in kids’ lives, as well as offer scripts to try with your own teenager
  • give language to what parents might be feeling if they missed this kind of parenting themselves
