An honest guide to cultivate connection and confidence with your tween.

Growing up today can feel like chaos. Everyone expects the teen years to be tough, but what about the years before? Pink Chaos is a guide for mums who are navigating the stormy waters of parenting daughters aged 9 to 12.

Having a strong mother/daughter relationship can help prevent serious mental health issuesβ€”including suicide, disordered eating, and self-harmβ€”as girls move from tweens to teens. Shayna Barksdale shows how now is the time to put a foundation in place to support daughters and prevent mental health struggles in later years.

Kids are living in a world that's totally foreign to their parentsβ€”Barksdale calls it "Girl World"β€”a place full of pressures and anxieties around school, parents, relationships, friends, social media, and global events. It also includes wonderful things mums probably couldn't have even imagined (like greater representation around gender, body size, abilities, and more). Girl World is a lot, and tweens desperately want to receive attention, validation, and support from their mums.

With practical tools in each chapter, Pink Chaos teaches you how to validate your child's feelings, show up with empathy, and engage in active listening that can benefit both mums and daughters. Including simple conversation scripts in girl-approved language, Pink Chaos is a vibrant, easy-to-digest book that mums can turn to again and again as they navigate life with their tween daughters.
