Mercer Island Parent Edge has joined forces with ParentMap to bring to Mercer Island: ROSALIND WISEMAN- "QUEEN BEES AND MASTERMINDS"- Wednesday, April 22 at 7:00 PM at Herzl-Ner Tamid Synagogue, 3700 E Mercer Way, Mercer Island.

Rosalind Wiseman’s discussion will include:

· What’s really going on between adolescent boys and girls today

· How social group dynamics influence their interactions

· Step by step advise on how to teach young people to treat each other with dignity

Rosalind Wiseman has had only one job since graduating from college—to help communities shift the way we think about children and teens’ emotional and physical wellbeing. As a teacher, thought leader, author, and media spokesperson on bullying, ethical leadership, the use of social media, and media literacy, she is in constant dialogue and collaboration with educators, parents, children, and teens.

Each year Wiseman works with tens of thousands of students, educators, parents, counselors, coaches, and administrators to create communities based on the belief that each person has a responsibility to treat themselves and others with dignity. She was one of the principal speakers at the White House Summit on Bullying. Other audiences have included the American School Counselors Association, International Chiefs of Police, American Association of School Administrators, and countless schools throughout the US and abroad. She is a consultant for Cartoon Network’s Speak Up, Stop Bullying Campaign and an advisor to the US Department of Health and Human Services’ Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration.
