No More Mean Girls

Once upon a time, mean girls primarily existed in secondary school, while primary school-aged girls spent hours at play and enjoyed friendships without much drama. But in this fast-paced world where young girls are exposed to negative behaviour on TV and social media from the moment they enter school, they are, also, becoming caught up in social hierarchies much earlier. NO MORE MEAN GIRLS is a guide for parents to help their young daughters navigate tricky territories such as friendship building, creating your own sense of self, standing up for themselves and others and expressing themselves in a healthy way. The need to be liked by others certainly isn''t a new concept, but this generation of girls is growing up in an age when the "like" button shows the world just how well-liked they are. However, when girls acknowledge that they possess positive traits that make them interesting, strong and likeable, the focus shifts and their self-confidence soars and "likes" lose their importance. This book offers practical steps to help parents empower young girls to be kind, confident leaders who work together and build each other up.
