- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Little Girls Can Be Mean appears on so many parenting reading lists. More than anything, it shows how little is actually out there for parents on the topic of female social conflicts and bullying in the elementary years.
This book is very repetitive, and mostly filled with common sense advice of things we already do. A few tips felt wrong to me, as many other reviewers have already brought up. The authors relied too much on anecdotes from their own children, which took away from the legitimacy of the research aspect of the book.
