Book Recommendation: Queen Bees and Wannabees
Queen Bees and Wannabees: Helping Your Daughter Survive Cliques, Gossip, Boyfriends and the New Realities of  Girl World, by Rosalind Wiseman 
 
When Rosalind Wiseman first published Queen Bees & Wannabes, she fundamentally changed the way adults look at girls' friendships and conflicts-from how they choose their best friends, how they express their anger, their boundaries with boys, and their relationships with parents. Wiseman showed how girls of every background are profoundly influenced by their interactions with one another. 

Now, Wiseman has revised and updated her groundbreaking book for a new generation of girls and explores:

*How girls' experiences before adolescence impact their teen years, future relationships, and overall success
*The different roles girls play in and outside of cliques as Queen Bees, Targets, and Bystanders, and how this defines how they and others are treated
*Girls' power plays-from fake apologies to fights over IM and text messages 
*Where boys fit into the equation of girl conflicts and how you can help your daughter better hold her own with the opposite sex
*Checking your baggage-recognizing how your experiences impact the way you parent, and how to be sanely involved in your daughter's difficult, yet common social conflicts

Packed with insights about technology's impact on Girl World and enlivened with the experiences of girls, boys, and parents, the book that inspired the hit movie Mean Girls offers concrete strategies to help you empower your daughter to be socially competent and treat herself with dignity. 

  

 

Helpful Resource: Parent Engagement Network
As one of the founders of the Parent Engagement Network (PEN) in 2002, I am excited to feature it in its 12th Year. PEN began as a "Call to Action" by the Superintendent of the Boulder Valley School District (BVSD) at the request of parents. It started as a Substance Abuse Task Force to encourage parent involvement in creating solutions to high-risk behaviors among our youth. The task force evolved into the Parent Engagement Network in 2003 after parent volunteers realized they wanted to engage the whole community in solutions.
PEN provides opportunities for connection, relationship building, and provision of research based, best practice information on preventing high risk behavior and building community. It uses the 40 Developmental Assets created by the Search Institute, and other strength-based approaches. PEN is committed to inclusiveness and cultural competency as well as reaching out to the entire community.
