What? This surprises us?
A recent study found that two-thirds of the 12- to 18-year old girls interviewed had been asked to provide explicit images by boys -- and that the requests often progressed from promises of affection to "anger displays, harassment and threats." In our new blog post, psychologist Lisa Damour explores this widespread problem and offers advice to parents and teachers on how to change the "toxic norms that have taken hold among teenagers." To read more, visit www.amightygirl.com/blog?p=22076 Damour is also the author of two excellent parenting books: "Untangled: Guiding Teenage Girls Through the Seven Transitions Into Adulthood" (www.amightygirl.com/untangled) and the newly released "Under Pressure: Confronting the Epidemic of Stress and Anxiety in Girls" (www.amightygirl.com/under-pressure) For a wonderful book to start teaching children -- girls and boys alike -- from a young age about consent, respect, and personal boundaries, we highly recommend: "My Body! What I Say Goes!" for ages 3 to 7 at www.amightygirl.com/my-body To help your Mighty Girl learn how to build supportive, mutually respectful relationships, there is an excellent guide that provides foundational advice on approaching relationships in a healthy manner, "A Smart Girl's Guide to Boys," for girls 9 to 13 at www.amightygirl.com/a-smart-girl-s-guide-to-boys And, for an insightful parenting book that offers advice on how to talk to teenagers about sex, respect, and consent, we recommend "For Goodness Sex: Changing the Way We Talk to Teens About Sexuality, Values, and Health" at www.amightygirl.com/for-goodness-sex
