About this listen

 *National Bestseller*

“If you have a teenage girl in your life, you need to read this.” —Oprah Daily

In the vein of Reviving Ophelia and Untangled comes a fresh, unexpected, and empowering guide to better understand teenage girls, revealing how their insights can create heartfelt connections and impactful change.

Written with warmth and humor, Underestimated is the first book to invite us into a teenage girl’s brain and heart, as told from the point of view of a beloved and trusted mentor. Chelsey Goodan is a highly sought-after academic tutor who has worked with hundreds of girls from all different backgrounds, earning their trust, confidence, and friendship. They in turn have shared with her their innermost concerns, doubts, and what they wish they could communicate to their parents and the world at large.

With topics and language directly chosen by the girls, Goodan reveals how the solutions to a girl’s well-being lie within her. She offers parents the exact words they can use to help her discover these solutions and demonstrates how adults can better support a teenage girl’s voice to create positive change.

Rather than dismissing teenage girls based on our own fears or treating them as problems that need to be solved, Goodan encourages us as parents, and as a society, to help girls unleash their power and celebrate their intrinsic wisdom, creating more healing and connection for everyone. With inspiring ease, Underestimated shows us how to do this with accessible advice, entertaining narratives, and profound wisdom.©2024 Chelsey Goodan (P)2024 Simon & Schuster Audio Gender Studies Parenting & Families Personal Development Relationships Self-Esteem Social Sciences Teenagers Witty

I got this book for my teen daughter. She didn't think she needed this book and put off listening to it. She came back to me a few days later and told me that it was amazing! She said it was so good and she was really glad she'd listened to it. I'm thrilled that it was so well received. It's not often I find books like this that get such a ringing endorsement from my teens. So, I definitely recommend this book to anyone with teen girls in their life! A great choice!

Awesome for Teen Girls!

This was a fantastic read. I cried several times. This would have saved me so many years in therapy and provided a better framework instead of making it up as I went.

I wish this was around when I was a teenager

I am a older parent. This book is written from the perspective of the girl, and points out how parents can do better. The author admits she does not have children and does not plan to have children. She is also not a therapist. This limits how her advice can be applied to a family. Allowing girls to grow and explore is important, but rebelling can bring limits to her future. The book offers a different perspective but leaves the healthy family environment out.

I learned some about what teenage girls experience in school and socially.
