Podcasts about odd girl out the hidden culture

In this episode, Sara explores the pressures pre-teens face to fit in - the social pressures and gender norms that impact today's pre-teens. We hear about the pressures on girls, boys, and the compelling story of a transgender pre-teen navigating b’nai mitzvah party culture.     "The parties are also a kind of performance. Pre-teens are pretending to be a little bit older and more mature than they are. The coat closet. Place for experimentation and risk taking. It is an exciting moment for kids to think about a more adult side of themselves. What is it about b'nai mitzvah? I can't be the only slutty girl in the coat closet." - Rachel Simmons "Most pre-teens want to belong - to have a group of friends to share good times with. Social status. Social ladder. Working to be at or near top. Some at twelve or thirteen have already given up and recognize that they'll be towards the bottom." - Andrew Smiler Featured voices: Rachel Simmons is the author of the bestsellers Odd Girl Out: The Hidden Culture of Aggression in Girls and The Curse of the Good Girl: Raising Girls with Courage and Confidence and the co-founder of Girls Leadership.

Middle School Science Minute by Dave Bydlowski (k12science or davidbydlowski@mac.com) It runs a little longer (2 minutes--but hey, I took off my watch and found I had all the time in the world). It is about the announcement of the new Science Framework that was released last week. From the framework will come the new science standards (late 2012). This will probably become the common core for science, just like ELA and Math--thus the National Curriculum in Science. So, it is a good heads up for people.

By idealizing and rewarding the Good Girl, we teach girls to become people-pleasing shadows of themselves, thus limiting their power and potential. In this podcast I talk with Rachel Simmons, author of "The Curse of The Good Girl: Raising Authentic Girls with Courage and Confidence" (The Penguin Press, 2009), about the long-lasting negative impact of a culture that prizes nice over real and how parents, teachers and coaches can help girls push back.
