“Some books translate science into understandable language;
some offer advice in the form of actionable steps; and some
weave stories that grab you by the heart. This
one—miraculously—does all three.”—Cara Natterson, MD, bestselling
author of The Care and Keeping of You 2 and Decoding Boys
“After describing the environmental and physiological ‘toxic
stressors’ on girls, Nakazawa offers simple but powerful ways to
combat them. And she doesn’t only explain why it’s beneficial to
keep your children from certain online influences as long as you
can—she actually has a step-by-step program for how to do
it.”—Judith Newman, The New York Times Book Review
“A perceptive, informative examination of the problems young
American girls face and how to change them . . . All of the
author’s advice is sound, and her insights into how to start the
process of change make this an important book for parents of
girls.”—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
“The smart analysis and wealth of neuroscientific and psychological
research adds nuance to public discourse around girls’ mental
health. . . . Timely and incisive, this issues an acute warning
that the kids are not alright.”—Publishers Weekly
