Girls’ friendships can be complex. One day they’re planning sleepovers and the next day, they’re not talking. Perhaps your daughter is the target of mean girls who are attacking her with dirty looks and vicious gossip. Or, maybe she has difficulty making friends and feels socially isolated. It’s hard to stand by and watch your girls suffer. Your protective instincts tell you to do something, but what?

You will learn how to:

Spot the warning signs of relational aggression (mean girl behavior)

Support versus save

Determine appropriate interventions

Encourage resiliency and coping skills
