Summer Reading for Parents and Caregivers
Rosalind Wiseman is COMING to JERICHO!
Ms. Wiseman is an American parenting educator and author of several publications. Her New York Times best-selling book Queen Bees and Wannabes: Helping Your Daughter Survive Cliques, Gossip, Boyfriends, and Other Realities of Adolescence, released in 2002, was the basis of the 2004 film Mean Girls. Wiseman is also the creator of the Owning Up Curriculum, a program that teaches students and educators to take responsibility as bystanders, perpetrators, and victims of unethical behavior.
In conjunction with Rosalind Wiseman's visit in the fall, we are organizing a summer reading assignment for parents and a book talk to take place on October 5, 2017 at 10 AM in the middle school library.
We will discuss her two books which are geared towards parents of boys and of girls:
Queens Bees and Wannabees and Masterminds and Wingmen.
Queen Bees and Wannabes
Masterminds and Wingmen
Here is a landmark book that reveals the way boys think and that shows parents, educators and coaches how to reach out and help boys overcome their most common yet difficult challenges -- by the bestselling author who changed our conception of adolescent girls.
Details:
You're invited to join this small group discussion about the topics covered in Rosalind Wiseman's books Queen Bees and Wannabes and Masterminds and Wingmen. (Available at the library or through any bookseller.)
Each discussion group will be headed by a facilitator who will guide the conversation around topics from both books.
These book talks are open to the entire community, but space is limited. Register early to ensure you spot.
Read either book or read both!
