Girls on the Edge

The Four Factors Driving the New Crisis for Girls
Book • 2010
In 'Girls on the Edge', psychologist and physician Leonard Sax argues that many girls today have a brittle sense of self, appearing confident and strong on the outside but fragile within.

Sax identifies four key factors threatening girls' psychological growth: sexual identity, the cyberbubble, obsessions, and environmental toxins.

He provides parents with practical tips on limiting social media use, choosing sports, and nurturing their daughters' spirits through female-centered activities.

The book offers a compelling and inspiring path to a new future for today's girls and young women.
