Fresh Take: Chelsey Goodan on How Parents Underestimate Their Teenage Girls

Why are stereotypes of teenage girls rarely flattering? And what important traits are we not acknowledging in these young women? Chelsey Goodan, author of the new book UNDERESTIMATED: The Wisdom and Power of Teenage Girls, explains what teenage girls really want and need from us.

Chelsey and Amy discuss:

• The generational shift towards a culture of support and empowerment among young girls today
• The significance of offering agency to young girls in shaping their identities and futures
• What teenage girls want from their parents more than anything else
