We've all heard about mean girls, and girl drama, but is it inevitable, or are there things we can be doing to prevent it?Kim McCabe is an expert on teen and tween girl development who runs a  programme called Rites for Girls which coaches groups of tweens and teens to help them learn how to support each other, and act as allies, rather than resorting to less pleasant ways to feel safe. We talked about the importance of good friendship, who decides what's beautiful, dealing with power bases, the value of the mother-daughter date, preparing your daughter for the summer and how to become a mentor to girls.Thanks for listening.
