[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Two books for parents to consider:

--[i]Odd Girl Out:  The Hidden Culture of Aggression in Girls[/i] (Rachel Simmons)

--[i]Queen Bees and Wannabes[/i] (Rosalind Wiseman)

Both are available from most book retailers.  Both are excellent.  [i]Queen Bees[/i] is a book that can be read with a tween; [i]Odd Girl Out[/i] is more appropriate for an older girl to read. [/quote]

Not sure why these are directed only at girls. Boys have these issues too.[/quote]

Because for a long time bullying research and literature focused on the traditional, physical, typically male bully.  These books were written in response to and as part of increased attention on the issue of relational aggression as a form of bullying, and certainly the form of bullying in which girls are more likely to engage.[/quote]

Disagree that girls engage in relational bullying more than boys. Boys do it just as much. This is an incorrect stereotype. Boys can be worse because they are outwardly rude about it. [/quote]

I struggled with how to word that and clearly failed - I didn't mean that girls are more likely to engage in relational aggression than boys are, I meant that girls are more likely to engage in relational aggression than they are to engage in physical aggression.  [/quote]

I understand. [/quote]
