Underestimated: The Wisdom and Power of Teenage Girls

Underestimated is a warm and insightful guide to truly understanding teenage girls. Drawing on years of experience as a trusted tutor, Chelsey Goodan shares what girls have confided in her—their worries, doubts, and what they wish parents understood. Written with humor and compassion, the book shows that the answers to a girl’s well-being often lie within herself. Goodan provides practical language and advice for parents to better listen, support, and empower their daughters, helping them feel heard and valued. Instead of treating teen girls as problems to fix, Underestimated encourages us to celebrate their wisdom, amplify their voices, and build stronger, more connected relationships.
