Untangling Family Life

Updated UNTANGLED! Introducing the Revised Edition

Untangled, Lisa’s award-winning book aimed at supporting parents and caregivers of adolescent girls, was first published in 2016. It became an instant New York Times bestseller and has since been translated into 19 languages. Now, because of its enduring popularity, Lisa worked with Penguin Random House to release a revised and updated edition. This new version supplements the timeless guidance at the heart of the original with fresh consideration of—and help for—challenges that have emerged recently for teens.

In this Untangling Family Life video, Lisa details the book’s the seven specific transitions that turn girls into grown-ups and highlight the issues now covered in this latest edition. Just like the book, this video centers on girls while resting on insights relevant to all teenagers, making it a must-watch for anyone raising, teaching, or mentoring young people.
