Cliques: Eight Steps to Help Your Child Survive the Social Jungle.
Charlene Giannetti and Margaret Sagarese
When you ask your student, "What happened in school today?" does he or she usually talk about something social, but very seldom mention what's going on in the classroom? The middle school social pecking order can dominate your child's school experience so completely that learning becomes very, very secondary. This book contains excellent advice on how to help your child learn genuine friendship-building skills, as opposed to conforming to cliques. Buy it now at Amazon.com!
