Queens, Gossipers, and Outcasts. How to Help Your Daughter Survive in the World of Girls

“My daughter was such a nice little girl, but now she has become simply unbearable, constantly lying and snapping back. What is happening?” “My daughter’s classmates are ruining her life, and she no longer wants to go to school. How... can I help her?” “My daughter is hanging out with a bad crowd – she’s dyeing her hair bright colors, talking to older boys, and coming home late. What should I do?” Familiar problems? Welcome to the amazing world of teenage girls! A world where your daughter will be ruthlessly teased for her 'wrong' clothing. Or where classmates will suddenly declare a boycott. Or where her best friend will share her secrets with the whole school... Surviving in this world is not easy. In this book, teen psychology expert Rosalind Wiseman opens the door for parents into the secret girls' world. She candidly reveals its most important aspects and answers the key questions: • how to teach your daughter to build healthy relationships with her peers; • why reputation, gossip, and following trends are so important for teenage girls; • how to talk to your daughter about forbidden topics: sex, alcohol, drugs – and protect her from making mistakes. Practical advice, real-life examples, and comments from real teenagers will help you support your daughter through this difficult and turbulent stage of growing up.
