An eye-opening and practical handbook on the social competition between parents. In her groundbreaking international best-seller, 'Queen Bees and Wannabes', Rosalind Wiseman revealed the subtle social pitfalls of Girl World. Now in 'Queen Bee Mums and Kingpin Dads' she reveals the unspoken rules of Perfect Parent World, a place in which a few parents set the rules for all parental involvement and most parents feel frustrated or disempowered.
Wiseman discovers how adulthood doesn't mean an end to cliques and peer pressure; often we just graduate to a new level. Perfect Parent World leaves parents of teenage children struggling over involvement -- what's appropriate and what's not in school and in their children's social lives -- and reliving the traumas of their youth.
With candour and insight, Wiseman explores how to deal effectively with the other adults (parents, teachers) who help create the reality of your son's or daughter's world, including the norms about money, fashion, alcohol, and sex. Her book is essential reading for all parents.
