Review/ Giveaway: Discovery Girls Guides

This giveaway is now closed. Please continue to enjoy the review.
Congratulations to Tabathia!




More great content from Discovery Girls Magazine! When I was reviewing the Discovery Girls Magazine, I was lucky enough to also be sent the "Fab Girls Guide to Getting Through Tough Times." This is book four of the set, and it is packed with situations middle school girls face, and guidance on how to handle those tough times. In true Discovery Girls fashion, this book is written in a fun format that allows girls to find just what they are looking for or read straight through. It is filled with great photographs that allow the reader to connect with other girls her age. This book is a great discussion starter as tweens can talk about the girls in the books with their parents.

Each book is approximately 100 pages and deals with various aspects of middle school life. They can be purchased as a set on the Discovery Girls website. It's never too early to start thinking Christmas for that tween in your life!

Here's what Discovery Girls has to say about these books:

"The middle school years—and the growing pains and social turmoil that come along with them—can be one of the most difficult times in a girl’s life. Many tween girls depend on friends and family to provide guidance and support, but no one has all the answers all the time. That’s why we created the Discovery Girls Fab Girls Guide book series—to give tweens easy access to simple, practical advice that will help them survive middle school and emerge stronger, more confident, and more resilient.

In Friendship Hardship, girls find out how to deal with problems in their friendships, and how to make—and keep—true friends.

Sticky Situations is all about the secrets to dealing with more than 70 of life’s trickier moments.

In Getting Your Questions Answered, girls get advice on school, boys, family, friends, and more from Discovery Girls’ popular columnist, Ali.

And in Getting Through Tough Times, they read inspiring true stories written by real girls just like themselves."

The only thing my tween has really faced so far is the little girl cliche's. They get their group assembled and are not very welcoming to letting in new girls. We actually saw this in our Homeschool coop. I hope she learns how to deal with that and many other things she may be presented with. I figure this way she will be better prepare to deal with situations or at least know she is not alone in dealing with certain situations when they present themselves.

My tween has faced the problems with friendships... you know, when everyone wants to be friends with the popular girl...and there's just not enough to go around. She's had her feelings hurt more than one time because she wasn't the "chosen one" of the popular girl. :(

Well, of four children, my tween is the only girl. Friends are a big issue, but brothers...well they can sure get in the way of your focus. Emotions run very high in the house sometimes and its my daughter who ends up freaking the most and losing it basically. I really wish she could take my advise, perhaps another perspective might help? One geared towards her?

My daughter has experienced extreme shyness so therefore it's hard for her to make friends
