The following podcast is a dear media production.

Hello and welcome to Raising Good Humans.

I'm Dr. Eliza Pressman and I am really delighted to have with us Dr. Lisa DeMoor,

who's a clinical psychologist and teen girl expert who's written two New York Times best-selling books.

One is Untangled guiding teenage girls through the

seven transitions into adulthood and the other is under pressure confronting the epidemic

of stress and anxiety and girls. These are

fantastic books that can really help navigate a difficult time period.

And I do want to acknowledge that for the most part,

development is development.

And the differences between boys and girls,

while it may seem wildly vast is quite small.

So I can imagine some of you wondering why I keep having separate episodes based on boys or girls.

And I will have another few of those actually coming up and it's because there is really

great research out there and there are some great practitioners who have really focused on some of the

nuanced differences.

And I think whether you're raising a boy or a girl or a gender non-binary kid,

you can get a lot out of these episodes because our kids are not being raised in a vacuum and they do need to understand each other and we need to understand them.

So I encourage listeners who didn't think they wanted to hear about teen girls to consider that even if you don't have one,

your child will definitely have many teenage girls to interact with.

And so knowing how to guide them will serve all of you. And also because and so

much of this is applicable to all teens, not just girls.
