Do you constantly struggle to pull information from your son, student, or athlete, only to encounter mumbling or evasive assurances such as “It’s nothing” or “I’m good?” Do you sense that the boy you care about is being bullied, but that he’ll do anything to avoid your “help?” Have you repeatedly reminded him that schoolwork and chores come before video games only to spy him reaching for the controller as soon as you leave t...

Summary of Rosalind Wiseman's Queen Bees and Wannabes
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Parents give their children access to technology so easily because they believe that if their child has a cell phone, they can reach them at any time and know where they are at all times. However, they don’t realize the other consequences of this technology, including the spread and intensity of gossip, humiliation, and drama. #2 The effects of technology on our society are widespread and far-reaching. It allows people to be mean and vicious without ever having to face the consequences. #3 You should know your child’s password, and make sure they don’t share it with anyone. You can check to see if your child is texting at 2 A. M. by looking at your phone or cable bill. #4 The rules of engagement are the same for technology and for your children. You must not use it to humiliate, embarrass, send personal information, misrepresent yourself or someone else, or use passwords without their permission.

Summary of Rosalind Wiseman's Masterminds and Wingmen
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I had wanted to write a book for boys that would be a complement to one I’d written for girls, Queen Bees and Wannabes. I wasn’t sure if I could deliver the level of insight that boys and parents needed and deserved. #2 I have a reputation for working with girls. I have taught in schools for almost twenty years, and I started by founding a nonprofit organization that taught kids from fifth to twelfth grade a social justice and ethical leadership course called Owning Up. #3 With the popularity of Queen Bees and Mean Girls, I began to be called upon to speak on girls’ issues. While the attention on girls was needed, the message was sometimes watered down or used as a way to demonize girls. #4 I was surprised at how many boys volunteered to help me write a book for boys. They told me why they did it, and many shared their deepest feelings and thoughts.
