What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

“Talking with Your Daughter about Best Friends and Mean Girls and A Girl’s Guide to Best Friends and Mean Girls are must reads for moms and their daughters. I especially liked that two dear friends got together to help girls through these difficult years. Dannah’s gifts for the body of Christ continue to bless us. I will give these books to all the mothers and daughters with whom I work in my family therapy practice.”
—Tippy Duncan, Christian Therapist

"I've trudged through several gloomy, 'mean girl' landscapes with my two daughters and only wish I'd had this resource earlier. The book (and workbook) will help parents and their daughters prepare for, and navigate, social situations that can discourage us. I appreciate the authors' focus on how to be a good friend as well as on God's abiding love."
—Jennifer Grant, author of Love You More and MOMumental
