Peer relationships are everything in middle school. When they’re good, they’re very, very good. And when they’re bad… “Girl fighting” is
often a hallmark of middle school, and some of the most painful times in girls’ lives. Girls may express their aggression and insecurities through hurtful
words, gossip and other forms of relational violence that can damage each other emotionally. Parents can help by understanding the conflict and communicating
with their daughters. Karen Hampton, a LMSW-ACP social worker, will share successful strategies for dealing with ways girls love, hurt and can heal each other.

other, but they don’t understand each other. Annabelle Arteaga will help parents better understand their daughters and how they can help them be successful in school, and also not forget the values held by their families. Annabelle Arteaga
grew up in the valley with Spanish-only speaking migrant parents. Annabelle has a PhD in Psychology, is actively involved with Austin’s Las Comadres group, works as a consultant for Spherion, and is actively involved with the
Girls Scouts of Central Texas Chapter.
