Siegel - neuropsychiatrist and author of the best-selling Mindsight - and parenting expert Tina Payne Bryson demystify the meltdowns and aggravation, explaining the new science of how a child’s brain is wired and how it matures.

What if there were parts of our minds that we never use, but if awakened, could make us so much happier, connected and alive? What if awakening those parts could bring peace to the conflicts and struggles we all go through? From the cutting edge, where therapy meets neuroscience, Steve Biddulph explores the new concept of 'supersense' - the feelings beneath our feelings - which can guide us to a more awake and free way of living every minute of our lives.

Once upon a time, mean girls primarily existed in high school, while elementary school-aged girls spent hours at play and enjoyed friendships without much drama. But in this fast-paced world in which young girls are exposed to negative behaviors on TV and social media from the moment they enter school, they are also becoming caught up in social hierarchies much earlier. No More Mean Girls is a guide for parents to help their young daughters navigate tricky territories such as friendship building, creating an authentic self, and much more.

At 10, we know how girls are pigeonholing themselves into what they think they should be. Whether they see themselves as academic or not, whether they are interested in boys, puberty is a reality, friendship fights are underway and the influence of social media is impacting. With heightened pressure from what they see in the media, in movies and on TV, our girls are leaving childhood behind well before they hit their teens. Not surprisingly, emotions can be heightened and relationships can be fraught.

Narration style made me fearful
The tone of voice was unsuitable for this book. Learning about the world of girls is both wonderful and fearful, however, the narration style just made me fearful. I’ve read an earlier version of this book but thought it a good idea to listen to an update, I’m trying to stay relaxed and feeling good about being as informed as I can be for my growing daughter. Yikes! I’m now on edge and might seek out the latest book to read it in my own calm way.

Great insight. Poor delivery.
Good updated information and insights for parents on how to deal with the modern day pressures of girlhood.
But it wasn't very enjoyable due to the narrator's tone. It made parenting girls sounds a lot more bleak than it needed to be. Probably not the desired intent of the author.

The narrator speaks as though he is reading an infomercial for cigarettes causing lung cancer. The section on neurodiversity needs updating- mis-pronounced Aspergers. Otherwise there’s a lot of common sense here.

Father of 3 girls
I was recommended this book by a friend. As a father of three girls ages 5, 2 and 1 I found this book informative, educational and emotional. It is a book I will continually refer to as a girls get older. I want to be the best father I can and provide my girls a beautiful, loving and happy childhood. This book will be a great resource over the years to help me. I highly recommend this book to any father wanting to be the best dad they can.
