Grace Against the Machine Theresa E Gindlesperger M Ed

The transition from little girl to teenager has never been easy! But in today's media-charged culture, tween girls are being encouraged to grow up faster than ever, and the consequences can be dire. These ten fully planned outings will help you initiate the conversations you must have with your 8- to 12-year-old daughter to help her navigate this new world and make sense of the mixed messages she is getting from television, music, social media, and her peers. Topics covered include: * peer pressure * cyberbullying * dressing to impress * changes in her body * false standards of beauty * and more... Embedded in easy-to-follow, fun activities like bingo and matching games, clothes and perfume shopping, makeovers, manicures, and more, are ten carefully crafted object lessons that will guide you through discussion of these critical issues. Don't wait to arm your daughter with the tools she will need to remain graceful in the face of some not-so-graceful situations she is sure to encounter now or in the near future. 144 pages
