New York psychotherapist Phyllis Cohen has successfully treated body image issues of teenage girls for more than twenty-five years. The result of their collaboration is a groundbreaking, much-needed resource for mothers who are trying to help their daughters navigate the difficult years of adolescence. \u003cbr\u003e Smart, straightforward, and accessible, \u003ci\u003eYou Have to Say I'm Pretty, You're My Mother\u003c\/i\u003e is the first book to combine insightful thinking and hard-won wisdom with practical advice and clear answers on everything from issues as complex as the difference between disordered eating and eating disorders to those as topical as body piercing and promiscuity. \u003cbr\u003e Teenage girls present their mothers with a unique set of challenges, especially where the issue of body image is concerned. The passage from childhood to adulthood is fraught with real perils for girls coming of age today; they are constantly bombarded with messages that no matter how they look, they are \u003ci\u003ealways\u003c\/i\u003e falling short of some unrealistic physical ideal. In addition, they are told that they have to grow up emotionally and sexually, and do it fast. Just when a girl needs her mother's guidance the most, she is trying to separate from her mother and establish her own identity. So an innocent comment like \"Isn't that skirt a little short?\" can result in a storm of tears and slammed doors, effectively breaking off any communication and leaving both feeling equally alone and misunderstood. \u003cbr\u003e In \u003ci\u003eYou Have to Say I'm Pretty, You're My Mother,\u003c\/i\u003e Pierson and Cohen give you guidance, perspective, and hope. They'll show you how to listen to your daughter, and decode what she is really asking when she says, \"Do I look particularly fat today?\" They give you the real answers to the universal mother questions: \"What do I do now?\" and \"What happened to the little girl who loved me?\" They explain why every slammed door will eventually open and how to build a closer relationship. \u003cbr\u003e There are sample dialogues, lists (funny and smart ones like the ten things you should never say to your daughter about sex, and just plain smart ones, like how to know if your daughter is at risk for an eating disorder), a chapter just for fathers (who are often every bit as inscrutable as their daughters), and a section of resources and reading for both parents and daughters. Picking up where \u003ci\u003eReviving Ophelia\u003c\/i\u003e left off, this funny, wise, invaluable guide will give you the tools to help your daughter feel good about herself, body and soul.","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43405113983231,"sku":"9780743229180","price":51.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/Jacket_51fa64e4-f6f1-4a94-a166-97d9d0ac08b4.jpg?v=1746929960","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9780743229180","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
