Welcome to Kelly Corrigan Wonders, I'm Kelly Corrigan, and today I'm wondering about emotions,

what they mean, what to do with them, when to dive in, when to walk away, what emotional

states we should unpack, and which we should distract ourselves from immediately.

My guest is Dr. Lisa De Moore, who you might know from The New York Times.

She writes often there, she has several books, and she is a clinician working with teens

for many decades now.

She has been so helpful to me and many others in understanding family dynamics, learning

how to be more useful to my children, and understanding, again and again, that growth

hurts.

So join us, we'll be right back with Dr. Lisa De Moore, this is Kelly Corrigan Wonders.

Welcome back to Kelly Corrigan Wonders, I'm Kelly Corrigan, and I am talking today with

Dr. Lisa De Moore, whose voice I so value in my life as a parent.

You may know her already, she works with UNICEF and CBS News, she's written several

bestsellers, and she writes about adolescence for The New York Times.

She's with me today to talk about her new book, The Emotional Lives of Teenagers, Raising

Connected, Capable, and Compassionate Adolescence, which I can say as a parent is a gift of clarity

and direction, in a world of parenting advice that seems fairly chaotic.

Lisa has been a guest on the show before we've done a few things live together and I'm

delighted to sit back down with her today.

This is Kelly Corrigan Wonders.

Oh, Lisa De Moore, do I have questions for you?

Hi, friend.
