"Dignity builds strength and character. Dignity builds self-worth... Our Collective well-being depends on grounding our thoughts and actions in the power of dignity to transform our lives". These the words of Rosalind Wiseman, author, speaker, and guest of ACS Athens who visited our campus a few days ago. Her book Queen Bees and Wannabes inspired the movie Mean Girls.
Rosalind Wiseman is an internationally renowned author and educator on children, teens, parenting, bullying, social justice, and ethical leadership. She was invited to talk to the ACS Athens' students and faculty, on issues that touch upon the growing pains facing families, the tough discussions when emotional trauma is evident and the dynamics of family and friends, especially in the era of social media and self awareness and empowerment.
Rosalind Wiseman was joined at the studio by Elliott, Lincoln and Marios, three Academy students. Together we discussed:
- Connecting with young people in their language and communication modes
- The benefit of not sugarcoating a different opinion
- How does a community come together by creating a co-agreement
- The efforts of schools to strengthen students’ emotional intelligence
- Realizing the diverse ways young people develop resilience through learning
- The right ways for parents to engage in an argument with their children
- and, all about Mean Girls - the movie that was inspired by Rosalind Wiseman book Queen bees and wannabes. Mean Girl tropes and world politics
