Family & Relationships. Nonfiction. HTML:"My daughter used to be so wonderful. Now I can barely stand her and she won't tell me anything. How can I find out what's going on?"
"There's a clique in my daughter's grade that's making her life miserable. She doesn't want to go to school anymore. Her own supposed friends are turning on her, and she's too afraid to do anything. What can I do?"
Welcome to the wonderful world of your daughter's adolescence. A world in which she comes to school one day to find that her friends have suddenly decided that she no longer belongs. Or she's teased mercilessly for wearing the wrong outfit or having the wrong friend. Or branded with a reputation she can't shake. Or pressured into conforming so she won't be kicked out of the group. For better or worse, your daughter's friendships are the key to enduring adolescenceâ??as well as the biggest threat to her well-being.
In her groundbreaking book, Queen Bees and Wannabes, Empower cofounder Rosalind Wiseman takes you inside the secret world of girls' friendships. Wiseman has spent more than a decade listening to thousands of girls talk about the powerful role cliques play in shaping what they wear and say, how they respond to boys, and how they feel about themselves. In this candid, insightful book, she dissects each role in the clique: Queen Bees, Wannabes, Messengers, Bankers, Targets, Torn Bystanders, and more. She discusses girls' power plays, from birthday invitations to cafeteria seating arrangements and illicit parties. She takes readers into "Girl World" to analyze teasing, gossip, and reputations; beauty and fashion; alcohol and drugs; boys and sex; and more, and how cliques play a role in every situation.
Each chapter includes "Check Your Baggage" sections to help you identify how your own background and biases affect how you see your daughter. "What You Can Do to Help" sections offer extensive sample scripts, bulleted lists, and other easy-to-use advice to get you inside your daughter's world and help you
help her.
It's not just about helping your daughter make it alive out of junior high. This book will help you understand how your daughter's relationship with friends and cliques sets the stage for other intimate relationships as she grows and guides her when she has tougher choices to make about intimacy, drinking and drugs, and other hazards. With its revealing look into the secret world of teenage girls and cliques, enlivened with the voices of dozens of girls and a much-needed sense of humor, Queen Bees and Wannabes will equip you with all the tools you need to build the right foundation to help your daughter make smarter choices and empower her during this baffling, tumultuous time of li

Written for parents as a tool for understanding their daughters, Queen Bees offers insights from children and teens to supplement Wiseman's sound advice. Wiseman’s first job is to offer suggestions for what kind of guidance a mother can give her daughter surrounding all kinds of situations, usually related to peer to peer friendships and other critical relationships in a girl's life. Occasionally, she addresses the dads, too. More often than not, Wiseman will offer sample "scripts" of what to say in various situations. It is here that I found Wideman to be a little idealistic in more than a few places. See here: "Get inside her head and then you'll understand where she is coming from and how to help her" (p 8). That is like saying create world peace and you will end gun violence. Don't all parents want to know what is going on inside their child's head? Wouldn't knowing her true thoughts give parents at least some of the tools they need to help her? Additionally, some of the quotes from children seem a little suspect; a little too good to be true. Wiseman ignores the impact emotion has on an action. Sometimes logic is compromised by uncontrolled feeling; so much so that the right thing to say cannot come out. In truth, there are so many suggested dialogues that I found them a little tedious. ( )

If you've got kids in high school - boys or girls - this is a must-read. It helps untangle the seemingly 'standard' social structure and nastiness of high school girls. It also provides some solutions. ( )

In Queen Bees and Wannabes, the author investigates girl cliques throughout adolescence. He identifies the different roles girls play in cliques and helps parents find ways to help their daughters navigate them and stand up for themselves. She also devotes chapters on sex, drugs, and alcohol in the high school years. I found parts of the book more helpful than others. There are times when the author makes it seems like all girls have these problems and if you don't agree with that you are in denial or naive. This bothered me a bit because it was nothing like my experience growing up (for me or my close friends). I knew cliques existed. I know there were people that partied and obsessed over boys, but that was far from the only path girls and boys traveled at my school. I don't think that I was an anomaly. I think this book does offer helpful suggestions for girls and their parents that are experiencing problems with these issues, but some of the assertions seemed outdated or based on anecdotal evidence rather than real data. For example, there was a bit about how youtube was a problem because girls could see music videos on the platform and that this will influence how girls view how they should look and act. I agree popular culture can have a negative effect on girls and that youtube can be a problem, but my experience has been that music videos are the least of the issue on the platform. In fact, I don't think any of my kids or their friends have an interest in music videos they way we did when I was in school. The same goes for fashion magazines. Although fashion blogs and online information can be a problem, I don't think my daughter or any of her friends would even consider buying a paper magazine. In short, this had helpful information that parents should read and be aware of, I just wish that it didn't have a tone of all girls react this way, do these things. A lot of kids do, but there are also those that don't. ( )

This book is a wonderfully readable and rigorous resource for parents. It is packed with practical material that is cool and unswerving, regardless of the incendiary properties of the behavior being discussed. Wiseman has plenty of hands-on experience from her years as a speaker and youth program developer to rely on as she lets young girls tell their own stories in order to teach us about their world in order to reinforce her points. It makes it easier to listen to her, and it makes it easier to really hear our own children, which is something we can forget to do sometimes.

No matter, Wiseman is a formidable source of comfort and objectivity for both girls and parents, who gives girls ownership of their experiences, and asks parents to believe in their ability to grow and change. The direct and respectful discussion of the often difficult to understand world of growing girls reveals how much Wiseman loves her work with young people as well as the depth of her expertise.

I was relieved that this book was not just another series of complaints about teenage angst, but instead was a book that put what seem to be crazy teen behaviors into perspective and framed them in practical purpose.

From helping parents develop a healthy understanding of the kind of symbiotic relationship teens have with technology to decoding (or at least tolerating) negative and positive interactions between friends and enemies based on personality types and social structures, Wiseman makes sense. The simple acknowledgement of the complex cycle of growth and quest for independence makes girls suddenly and absolutely reasonable, even when they are aggravating.

There is no longer any reason to engage in battle! Read the book, you’ll see!
