Great book for dealing with anxious teenagers

It's hard growing up in the modern world with constant dopamine overload... bad news on every corner and social media being how it is. So this book has been a Godsend in helping my daughter manage her stress and anxiety. It's full of practical tips as well as a guide to helping you understand and empathize with what they're going through.

a beautiful listen

The teenage Brain was exactly what I needed to get through to my teen at home. I've been trying to speak with him for over a year about what's going on at high school, and I could never get him to open up. Thanks to this resource, we are now having very frank discussions and he has agreed to receive help from his therapist again. Thank you for creating such a lovely book.
