Staying Connected: A Guide for Parents on Raising an Adolescent Daughter

About the Brochure

Staying Connected: A Guide for Parents on Raising an Adolescent Daughter was prepared by the American Psychological Association and distributed to coincide with the broadcast premiere of 5 Girls, a documentary film about adolescent girls. The film, produced by Kartemquin Educational Films and directed by Maria Finitzo, is a presentation of P.O.V. (Point of View), the PBS award-winning showcase for nonfiction films. The premier broadcast will air in October 2001.

The film documents the lives of five young women, Corrie, Toby, Amber, Haibinh, and Aisha. Viewers follow the girls through their everyday lives and the challenges, stress, and hopes and expectations for their futures.
