Negative Positive
Title: Here's to Preventative Maintenance
Review: This reads like a chess manual for social interactions (or more accurately dysfunctional interactions) of teenage females with their peers. The goal of this book is to give parents insight into why certain situations occur and how to help their daughters address them. Politics are part of any social interaction but the compilation of scenarios in this book are complex and vicious. While informative, the book takes a reactive stance. Just how do girls get entangled in these webs in the first place? How do parents raise a girl to have enough sense of self worth to let ugliness roll off or stand up for whatever is right? This book is truly a huge inspiration to read books about child development, self esteem and socialization. These books in turn teach skills to help a child take control in a positive manner as opposed to being a pawn who takes the role of aggressor, accomplice or attacked.
