"In their parents' eyes, they are the 'go girls,' adolescents racing into a wide and welcoming world that is theirs to claim. Parents know their 12- and 13-year-old daughters have arrived at a unique point in time, a moment of opportunity inherited from generations of women who struggled before them. Many of the limitations even their mothers felt, like having to choose between a family and a career, are on their way out. Yet, parents who feel the heady mixture of pride and expectation may not see the stress it adds for their girls." (ARIZONA REPUBLIC) This article discusses how "as the divide between physical and emotional maturity for adolescent girls grows wider, bridging that gap can make everything about adolescence harder for parents and daughters."
