Reviews
"I remember how hard it was to be a teen, and I think the bullying, peer pressure, and expectations have only increased over the years. Lucie Hemmen's The Teen Girl's Survival Guide provides helpful exercises for teen girls to increase self-awareness, and concrete skills to help improve self-esteem and reduce the chaos and drama teen girls often encounter. This is a lovely book that aims to help teen girls think about and move toward the person they truly would like to be." —Sheri Van Dijk, MSW, RSW, psychotherapist, international speaker, and author of several books, including Surviving the Emotional Roller Coaster, Relationships Skills 101 for Teens, and Don't Let Your Emotions Run Your Life for Teens
"The Teen Girl's Survival Guide is packed with powerful skills to help you develop and grow healthy relationships and positive connections. It helps you to identify and build on the skills you already have, and to discover and try out new ones along your journey of self-discovery, as you figure out who you are and where you fit in. The best part of the book is the wisdom and experience of actual teens in their own words—teens who really 'get it,' and can help you navigate social landmines and take your connectedness to the 'next level!'" —Dzung Vo, MD, author of The Mindful Teen
"This thoughtful book will inspire teen girls to be their best self, their most authentic self, and to navigate social media and texting. A wise guide for every teen girl." —Lara Honos-Webb, PhD, author of The ADHD Workbook for Teens, The Gift of ADHD, The Gift of ADHD Activity Book, and more (http://www.addisagift.com)
