In Got Teens?, the Doctor Moms combine their medical and psychological knowledge with their own personal experiences to address the most cringeworthy and difficult questions that kids often ask their parents.

Topics include body development, emotional changes, bullying, social media, substance abuse, and more--giving parents the confidence to tackle these subjects with authority and compassion.

The Doctor Moms are funny, honest, and intelligent. Got Teens? is a must-read for any parent with a child in the throes of puberty. This book will become both your bible and your survival guide.
Debra Hauser, MPH, President, Advocates for Youth
Finally, a book with actual research by real experts that backs up moms like me when we tell our teens they are normal . . . and quells our fears when we worry that they aren t.

"Yes, parents could just hand kids a couple of Judy Blume books, tell them to have at it, and then answer any questions. But the world has changed a lot since the 1970s, and as great as Are You There God? It s Me, Margaret was (and is), it doesn t tackle social media, sexting or eating disorders. . . . Got Teens goes over acne, sleep problems, dating relationships, abuse, how to teach your children to be responsible with social media and everything between."
