Book Reviews of A Smart Girl's Guide to Friendship Troubles
Book Review: Recommended by a Child Psychologist
Summary: 5 Stars
My eight year-old daughter was being verbally bullied daily by a girl at school. We went to a child psychologist as one part of working on this problem and she recommended this book. It is simple to read, and you can focus on just one area that applies to your problem if you like. In our case, it was how to handle people who can just be mean to you for no apparant reason. Simple come-back lines and the like. I role-played with my daughter to get her comfortable with responding to nasty people, and I really think it helped overall. The school has the two girls separated, and when they are together for some reason they are not to interact. With that, she hasn't had to use those skills with this girl (and I hope she never does have to), but I think this book really let her know that she is not alone and that there are just some people out there who can be mean to you through no fault of your own. That's a tough lesson to learn, and it stinks that my eight year-old had to learn it, but overall I have seen her mature through this process and she doesn't take everything so personally and that is huge for a sensitive girl. I look at this book as a vital piece of that puzzle. By the way, the psychologist also recommended the other American Girl books of this type (not the storybook ones) for helping girls get through life's inevitable challenges.
