QUEEN BEE MOMS & KINGPIN DADS(ISBN=) 英文原版

　　What happens to Queen Bees and Wannabes when they grow
up?
　　Even the most well-adjusted moms and dads can experience peer
pressure and conflicts with other adults that make them act like
they’re back in seventh grade. In Queen Bee Moms & Kingpin
Dads, Rosalind Wiseman gives us the tools to handle difficult
situations involving teachers and other parents with grace.
Reassuring, funny, and unfailingly honest, Wiseman reveals:
　　? Why PTA meetings and Back-to-School nights tap into parents’
deepest insecurities
　　? How to recognize the archetypal moms and dads—from Caveman Dad
to Hovercraft Mom
　　? How and when to step in and step out of your child’s conflicts
with other children, parents, teachers, or coaches
　　? How to interpret the code phrases other parents use to avoid
(or provoke) confrontation
　　? Why too many well-meaning dads sit on the sidelines, and how
vital it is that they step up to the plate＝
　　? What to do and say when the playing field becomes an arena for
people to bully and dominate other kids and adults
　　? How to have respectful yet honest conversations with other
parents about sex and drugs when your values are in conflict
　　? How the way you handle parties, risky behavior, and academic
performance affects your child
　　? How unspoken assumptions about race, religion, and other
hot-button subjects sabotage parents’ ability to work
together
　　Queen Bee Moms & Kingpin Dads is filled with the kind of true
stories that made Wiseman’s New York Times bestselling book Queen
Bees & Wannabes impossible to put down. There are tales of
hardworking parents with whom any of us can identify, along with
tales of outrageously bad parents—the kind we all have to reckon
with. For instance, what do you do when parents donate a large sum
of money to a school and their child is promptly transferred into
the honors program–while your son with better grades doesn’t make
the cut? What about the mother who helps her daughter compose
poison-pen e-mails to yours? And what do you say to the
parent-coach who screams at your child when the team is losing?
Wiseman offers practical advice on avoiding the most common
parenting “land mines” and useful *s to help you navigate
difficult but necessary conversations.
　　Queen Bee Moms & Kingpin Dads is essential reading for
parents today. It offers us the tools to become wiser, more relaxed
parents–and the inspiration to speak out, act according to our
values, show humility, and set the kind of example that will make a
real difference in our children’s lives.

　　”Wise yet practical and full of humor, Queen Bee Moms &
Kingpin Dads is a must-read for parents who want to deal with the
other adults in their children’s lives with skill and compassion,
rather than wrath and confusion. Rosalind Wiseman’s thoughtful
suggestions will spare parents endless conflicts and substitute
creative interventions. This book forces us to look ourselves in
the mirror and face both our strengths and weaknesses while
inspiring us to act as strong yet empathic role models for our
children in a much-too-pressured and competitive world.” —William
Pollack, author of Real Boys: Rescuing Our Sons from the Myths of
Boyhood
　　”Rosalind Wiseman is consistently amazing for her window on the
real world. As always, she has an uncanny knack for characterizing
people whom we see every day, and I found her stories compelling
and poignant. Her advice is specific and to the point and can only
be extremely helpful to parents taking on the humbling and
perplexing world of the other adults who play such a big part in
their own kids’ lives. Above all, I found the book extraordinarily
compassionate.” —Anthony Wolf, Ph.D., author of Get Out of My Life,
But First Could You Drive Me and Cheryl to the Mall?

　　”Rosalind Wiseman has a good ear and a good eye. She watches and
listens to the every day talk of kids and adults and hears and sees
below the surface to identify important underlying social
realities. In Queen Bee Moms and Kingpin Dads she provides a road
map for parents to help them negotiate the treacherous waters of
adult peer culture on behalf of their children and their own peace
of mind.” —James Garbarino, Ph.D., author of See Jane Hit and Lost

I found the insights, stories and practical information in this
book very powerful. As a professional, I found the book’s basic
premise to be profoundly important to the field of child
development. Rosalind Wiseman asks nothing less of us than basic
human civility.” —Michael Gurian, author of The Minds of Boys and
The Wonder of Girls
