“I commend Dr. Jenn’s devotion to the girls she writes for, her dedication to what’s right and I share her unconditional love and admiration for teens.”
– Kim Kirberger, co-author, Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul
DR. JENN
Jennifer Austin Leigh, PsyD, known simply as, “Dr. Jenn,” is a leading expert on teen girls and the challenges they face, and an award-winning author and speaker. She has appeared on national television, radio and in print. Her mission is to help girls grow up with self-respect, confidence and compassion in a world that brainwashes them to believe that they are valuable only for their sex appeal and encourages them to be bullies.
An ardent believer in the brain enhancement of attachment parenting, Dr. Jenn shows parents how to become the front-line defense for their daughters.
Dr. Jenn believes our teens (both boy and girls) are too often placed on psychotropic medications or sent to rehab when other methods of intervention can help them feel better and behave better.
“Families have forgotten some basic fundamentals in today’s hectic, information overload world. We need to unplug, listen, love and play again.”
Dr. Jenn is the author of The Secrets Guys Wish You Knew About Love, How to Raise Happy, Healthy, Hardy Teen Girls, and the co-author of A Little Book of Listening Skills. She lives in the San Francisco bay area and has four young adult children.
