Stressed-out Girls Helping Them Thrive in the Age of Pressure

In Stressed-out Girls, bestselling author and clinical psychologist Roni Cohen-Sandler provides an inside look at how the achievement frenzy is hurting this generation of girls. Trying desperately to shine academically, juggle hectic extracurricular activities, become popular, look great, and get into elite colleges, teenage girls feel compelled to hide their distress from the teachers and families they want to please-and often become disconnected from their true selves in the process. The pressure to "do it all" becomes debilitating-diminishing girls' self-esteem and motivation, their health, and ultimately, undermining their ability actually to be successful.Cohen-Sandler, Roni is the author of 'Stressed-out Girls Helping Them Thrive in the Age of Pressure', published 2005 under ISBN 9780670034383 and ISBN 067003438X.
