- Sad seeing your daughter being hurt by her “friends”?
- Frustrated due to your daughter’s on-again / off-again friendships?
- Unable to help your daughter when school, sports, or social activities seem like a girl war zone?
- Devastated when your daughter is too scared to go to school?

What Is Happening to Your Daughter, We Want You to Know That There Is a Way Through This Form of Bullying
Many parents have found hope through learning more about the dynamics of Relational Aggression (RA). In turn they have equipped their daughters with skills with which to assert themselves in RA situations. Their daughters have experienced relief and used their personal power to create friendships which serve them.
"I didn't know how to help my children because I was so crushed. I think I suffered even more than my girls did.
You created a comfort zone. Now I step back, review it, and know we'll get through it...My daughter has re-friended all of these girls."

You Can’t Solve for Your Daughter, But You Can
Find Relief in Helping Her Discover Her Own Peace
After counseling hundreds of parents and elementary/middle school girls through the maze of friendships, we know exactly what it takes to get you through this painful experience. We specialize in helping parents guide their daughters to make powerful choices that result in friendships that feel good.
You see, many parents have the urge to solve the problem for their daughters. They, however, are missing an opportunity to teach a valuable life lesson - that the answer to any problem lies within. When girls are taught an inside-out approach to solving their friendship problems, they are equipped with relational tools they can use forever.
“The tools were easy to follow, practical, and easy to replicate at a later time. As a result, my daughter has built confidence in learning how to deal with these situations and can talk to me in a language that makes it easier for me to listen and help if necessary.”

“ I thought it was good because it helps me think about what I can do to be a good friend. I really enjoyed the role playing exercises.”
