Review “Villanueva, a developmental psychologist, uses an informal, conversational style in this helpful parenting book, sharing anecdotes from her own experiences as a mother of four who is currently raising two teens, as well as up-to-date information on brain development. Villanueva reminds readers that risky behaviors by teens reflect the fact that their brains are not yet fully developed. She also warns against ‘drawing a line in the sand” as teens are likely to respond to ‘forbidden fruits’ with rebellion. With its encouraging tone, Villanueva’s friendly primer will help parents learn to appreciate, enjoy, and accept their teens as they are, while patiently negotiating the challenges and changes inherent in adolescence.” – Publishers Weekly“With humor and great warmth, Sara Villanueva tackles issues that can seem unsettling or bewildering to most parents. Her voice is reassuring, and by the end of the book you know you're not only up for the challenge of parenting a teen, but that you're not in it alone.” – Ami Albernaz, Boston Globe contributor“While reading The Angst of Adolescence, I loved Sara’s conversational voice, assurance, examples, information, and humor. I can't imagine any parent of a teen who wouldn't enjoy and profit from this mix of professional with personal insight.” – Carl Pickhardt, PhD, author of the blog and book, Surviving Your Child's Adolescence“Sara Villanueva does a masterful job of balancing the sound advice of an experienced parent with the scientific literature of adolescent development and parenting.

By john ingram I was fortunate enough to read an advance copy of Dr. Villanueva's new book, The Angst of Adolescence, and it was love at first chapter! I was immediately stricken by how Dr. V seemed to have a window not only into my soul, but the souls of both of the relationships between me and my daughters. I only wish I had had her book and invaluable insights when I was actually going through all the angst my teenagers were dealing with and the angst I felt trying to navigate them, and myself, through those often choppy waters!While reading this gem of a book, I laughed a lot, cried a little, and more than anything, just found comfort that I was not alone in the way I was feeling - that WE were not alone in the way we were all feeling - and dealing with going through the angst of adolescence.If you have a teen or a younger child who will be there soon enough, READ THIS BOOK! If not, get it for someone you know and love who does. They will thank you for it!
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. funny, and educational all at once By Lorelei Ortiz I just got a copy and couldn't put it down! I wanted to read it cover to cover in one sitting! This book is engaging, funny, and educational all at once. It's incredibly fluid and easy to read and makes enjoying the content effortless. There is so much of value here! Even though Villanueva is a trained psychologist, she is also an experienced mom, and that is what sets this book apart from others in its genre. It speaks undeniable truths and resonates with parents of tweens or teens. I see so much of my own experiences as a mother in these pages and I so appreciate the validation in Villanueva's narratives. The book is also great at working in the psychology stuff without being clinical or preachy. This is a fabulous book!

Essential Reading for Parents of Teens By Peter Beck As the father of a newly minted teenager, this is the best book I have seen on how to successfully navigate the turbulent and rewarding years ahead. It provides a wealth of practical advice, is written in a style accessible to non-psychologists, and is supported throughout by scholarly research, giving me greater confidence in the trustworthiness of her conclusions than other books in this genre.
