Helping Your Daughter Navigate Friendships: A Webinar with Michelle Mitchell & Linda Stade

Tween and teen girls' friendships can be complex, intense and filled with unpredictable ups and downs. Even though we might wish they could “just get on with it”, most girls need adults to help them problem solve daily challenges.   

In this webinar Michelle Mitchell and Linda Stade will address the most common of all girl challenges – relational aggression, and how it surfaces in the playground. They will discuss frenemies, exclusion, gossip, the silent treatment, belittling and conditional friendship. Together they hope to help you dial down the drama and replace it with a framework of empowerment. This presentation will provide you with the following how-to information:

• How to identify relational aggression - what it looks and feels like for our tween and teen girls, and the way it surfaces in the playground.
• How to bring down the emotion and encourage girls to solve friendship problems by offering a framework of empowerment.
• How to navigate the ups and downs of friendships with your daughter, without taking over.
• How to approach schools with troublesome friendship issues.
• How to help girls navigate cliques and the pecking order.
• How to support girls as they transition between friendships or friendship groups.
• How to model and explain the role of forgiveness and empathy in relationships.
• How to help girls deliberately dial down the drama and reduce conflict in relationships

Who is this webinar for? 

This one-hour presentation will be directed to parents of girls 8 - 16 years old.

Working With Children Check (WWCC)

In order for the school to ensure that all staff and volunteers have the necessary WWCC, all parents who wish to volunteer are asked to ensure that they have the appropriate clearance in order to remain as a volunteer within the school. Once the WWCC is completed the school maintains a register of parents who are able to volunteer within the school. This includes classroom assistance, excursions, camps, canteen, Library assistance and general helping about the school.

Further information  about the Working With Children Check can be found on the CEDoW website. Follow this link to the website.
