I found that my daughter was coming home every night with "so & so did this" or "someone said that or did something." Having this book gave her a place to look and read about it and have some tools to handle the situation on her own the next day. It helped her tremendously.
Before your young lady starts Junior High School please add this litle book to her library. This books offers answers to the preteen on handling situations that could be potentially embarrassing. This book will help your child develop more self-assurance.
For example, information about what to do if you are separated from your family in the city could save a child's life. A Smart Girl's Guide to Sticky Situations is an absolutely wonderful book for preteens about some of the weird situations that people of any age can find themselves in. Knowing how to handle false accusations could save a child's sanity.Little sidebars called "Disaster Blasters" provide information to prevent all manner of inconvenience, embarrassment and grief. With very appealingly silly illustrations, the book covers the expected items like flunking a test, not getting picked for a team, looking goofy in photos, etc. However, there are some serious situations that are beautifully handled. While some reviewers have stated that this is merely a compilation of common sense, keep in mind that maturity comes with age and experience, and this book is aimed at a very young audience. I really do wish that I had this book, myself, many years ago, and I highly recommend it for any young lady in your family circle.
I bought this for my 10 yr old and she couldn't put it down. It gave us lots to talk about and opened several conversations. I am very glad we found this one.
I even enjoyed reading it and seeing what they had to say. Now why did my mom never give me books like this. I think this book is just great. It is your basic stuff, "how to deal with a mean girl", etc. I would get this one.
