One day your daughter has a close group of friends. The next day she’s being ignored, excluded, whispered about, or embarrassed online. Girls often bully differently than boys, quietly and socially, so it’s easy for adults to miss and easy to brush off as “drama.” This guide helps you see what’s really going on underneath, and gives you the words and steps to help, whether your daughter is the target, the bystander, or the one doing the hurting.
This guide walks you through:
- How girls bully differently, and why it leaves such lasting wounds
- The insecurity underneath the meanness, and the “queen bee” dynamic
- What your daughter can do when she sees bullying happen, whether it’s physical, online, or so subtle it’s barely noticeable
- What to do first as a parent, and how to work with the school
- A printable “Where Do I Stand?” page for your daughter, a matching page to help you listen, and a quick-reference checklist for the moment you find out
By award-winning author Debra Beck, and a companion to her books What If Your Teen Isn’t the Problem? A Guide to Conscious Parenting and, for your daughter, My Feet Aren’t Ugly: A Girl’s Guide to Loving Herself from the Inside Out.
