School has started and if you have a daughter, chances are, she will have to deal with friend drama. She may be the one creating it, on the receiving end or in the middle of it.
Is your daughter prepared to deal with the drama that comes with friendship? Does she have a plan or strategy that will help her deal with friendship issues? Will she have the confidence to express herself in a healthy way? If not, she will have a difficult time staying out of the drama and maintaining friendships.
Let’s face, most of us need a plan when it comes to communicating effectively. For most of us, it doesn’t come naturally. We had to learn effective communication strategies in order to express our feelings and work out our differences or issues.
Thank goodness, Rachel Simmons comes to the rescue with a fun, interactive workshop that teaches girls powerful strategies on dealing with friendships.
Rachel Simmons is the author of Odd Girl Out: The Hidden Culture of Aggression in Girls, which is the basis for the Odd Girl Out Lifetime Movie, now available on DVD. She has also written Odd Girl Speaks Out: Girls Write About Bullying, Cliques, Popularity and Jealousy and The Curse of the Good Girl: Raising Authentic Girls with Courage and Confidence.
The Tour will take place in several cities, check out the Be You! Real Girl Tour link to find the cities that are included.
