Description
Girls on the Brink: Helping Our Daughters Thrive in an Era of Increased Anxiety, Depression, and Social Media by Donna Jackson Nakazawa. The pressures on adolescent girls today are unprecedented, with anxiety and depression rates at an all-time high. But what's driving this crisis? New research reveals that the combination of early puberty and the unchecked influence of social media is having a profound impact on the female stress-immune response, derailing healthy emotional development. However, this understanding also brings hope. The adolescent brain is highly flexible and responsive to support and scaffolding, and a girl's innate sensitivity to her environment can become her superpower. This book offers 15 simple yet powerful strategies for raising emotionally healthy girls, based on cutting-edge science that explains the modern pressures they face.
