Synopsis
Hit podcast host Max Dubrow reveals what teens wish their parents understood, with insight from Dr. Judy Ho. When Max started her I'll Give It to You Straightish podcast, she wanted to offer teens a voice of support during these sometimes-trying years. What she didn't expect was parents of teens to rapidly fill her listener base.
Max realized that parents are hungry to understand what issues their kids are facing and teens are looking for ways to convey just how different their experiences are from their parents'. No previous generation has faced the combination of anxiety, school and parental pressure, social media, friend and relationship complexities, and gender and sexuality discussions--not to mention Covid--that this one is facing right now. In addition to Max's own perspectives, the book includes
insights from clinical and forensic neuropsychologist Dr. Judy Ho, key takeaways for parents, and
quotes from teens. In I'll Give It to You Straightish, Max pulls back the curtain on the emotional life of today's teens, providing valuable insight to anyone close to a Gen Z teen.
