by Holly Hampton (Author), Naomi S. Hampton (Author), Andrew Hampton (Author)

A guide for parents of daughters told from the girl's point of view. When school-aged girls experience painful friendship turbulence it can leave parents feeling powerless, anxious and worried. When Girls Fall Out is a frank and carefully explained guide for parents to help them support their daughters effectively. Told from the girls' point of view, this book shows parents how to empower their daughters to be empathetic, resilient and more consistently happy in their friendships. Verified reader review: "This book is incredible. I purchased it upon recommendation, after trying (and failing) to navigate the complexity of parenting my wonderful and 'spirited' daughter. From the beginning, not only did the friendship dynamics of girls start to make complete sense but I was transported back to my own 8th Grade classroom at recess and could identify the different types of girls, behaviour and experiences both positive and negative. This book is so helpful in balancing tools to help, with reassurance that sometimes leaving girls alone is the right thing to do, the insane power of just listening and not trying to dish out advice. There are a couple of mantras from this book that I play back daily in my head such as 'listen not because you need to know but because she needs to tell you'. This book has genuinely made me feel more confident in parenting my 9 year old and I am so pleased I have it by my side for the teen years ahead! Simply the best parenting book I have EVER read."
