 Our girls are growing up in a different world from the one we knew at their age.  The pressure for social and academic success can cause our daughters to lose sight of what’s right. In doing whatever it takes to fit in, some tweens/teens make thoughtless choices that hurt themselves and others. Many are often unhappy, confused or stressed. 21st century girls need 21st century parenting to become more self-confident and better able to make choices that reflect who they really are.

Annie Fox, M.Ed. helps parents get clear on their true parenting role so that they can give their daughters what they need for healthy social/emotional development in middle or high school and beyond.

This event is a great opportunity for parents to:

• Tune in to your daughter’s psychological/ emotional needs
• Explore the role that stress plays in her academic and social success
• Learn to parent more calmly and effectively
• Refine your long-range parenting objectives
• Help girls in ways that best support age-appropriate independence

Annie Fox, M.Ed., an award-winning author and educator with 30+ years experience, presented at the 2008 National Middle School Association Conference. Her books include: the new Middle School Confidential™ series, Too Stressed to Think? and The Teen Survival Guide to Dating & Relating. Learn more about Annie at www.anniefox.com.
