the new ruiles of boy world cover

I have loved what Rosalind Wiseman has to say ever since I read Queen Bees and Wannabes and then Queen Bee Moms and Kingpin Dads several years back.

Both are incredible books that I found remarkably insightful.ย  Ms. Wiseman understood what was happening in today’s world for parents and kids. She got it.

And she gave me real-world strategies for moving through the tough parts.

This summer, I had the opportunity to sit in on a Skype chat with this amazing woman, thanks to the great people of Montgomery County’s PEP Program. It was awesome.

Ms. Wiseman spoke candidly about the time, effort, research, and energy that she has put into all of her books but most recently in the research and writing of The New Rules of Boy World–her latest book which is due to be released on September 10, 2013.

Actually, this new book is called Masterminds and Wingmen: Helping Our Boys Cope with Schoolyard Power, Locker-Room Tests, and Girlfriends, and the New Rules of Boy World. And I even think it’s awesome now that I know how much thought and consideration was put into the title itself–and how the inner circle of boys who helped Wiseman shape this book–also forged the title together.

Jealous? Don’t be.

No reason to be jealous because now anyone and everyone has a chance to hear her speak about this book and all of the awesome, helpful, mind-blowing research that went into writing it.ย  Wiseman is coming to the Maret School in DC on September 12th from 7:30 – 9pm.ย  To talk about the book. And share advice.

And you’re invited.

And you can actually win a pair of tickets to go.ย  Seriously. And at $25 a pop, that’s a $50 win for you.ย ย  Woot.

So grab your spouse, your pal, your bff, and enter this little teachmama.com contest, and cross those fingers. Or if you can’t stand the stress of a giveaway, go ahead and purchase your own tickets and you’re good to go.

Here’s the skinny. . .

  • The New Rules of Boy World–Rosalind Wiseman Speaks at PEP (& ticket giveaway):ย  If you are local to the DC Metro area, I’m hoping you’ll check out this Noted Author Parenting Series speaker, and maybe even decide to check out PEP itself.

PEP is the Parent Encouragement program here in Montgomery County. Just like their motto, they are educating parents and enriching families every single day.ย  Goodness knows we could all use a little parental encouragement and enrichment some days!

GIVEAWAY: TWO tickets (valued at $25 each) to see Rosalind Wiseman speak, thanks to PEP–The Parent Encouragement Program!

fyi: This is an unsponsored post, sharing a message I feel strongly about from an organization I can firmly stand behind.ย  I did receive the offer of two complementary tickets to this event; however, I had already purchased two of my own.ย  But *alas!* September 12th is two of my kids’ Back-to-School Nights, so I cannot make the event, and I am truly disappointed. I’m hoping what whomever goes does share all of his or her notes with me, though!

My favorite little spot to lay out the mat = โ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŒŠ๐Ÿงœ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ

Use an emoji to tell me yours. 

remember: it doesnโ€™t matter what you do as long as you move your body in some way each day. Total game changer. Promise. 

For me, walking the ๐Ÿ•โ€๐Ÿฆบ๐Ÿถ and ๐Ÿง˜๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธare daily non-negotiables for my physical AND mental health. 

I do the @melissawoodhealth videos each day, and her upbeat, casual attitude, variety of low-impact strengthening workouts, and reminders to just keep coming back are key.

This book is SO different from any other I have read in the recent past, and itโ€™s something that is both refreshing and hopeful. 

My friend @techninjatodd wanted to put out a book that would be a source of hope, a reminder that we are not alone. A testament to the fact that every season of life matters. 

And so, In This Season: Words From the Heart was born, with help from the amazing @apron_education @allylee21 @writtentospeak @omar2764

โ„๏ธโ„๏ธโ„๏ธโ„๏ธ

Life is full of seasons.

Each of us has endured the cold of winter, the growth of spring, the light of summer, and the change of fall. Weโ€™ve climbed to the mountaintops and been deep in the valley.

In This Season: Words for the Heart takes the emotions we feel deep within and puts them into words. The pages of this book invite you to reflect and lean in as you continue through season after season.

๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒธ

Check this book out, friends. It is worth your time, and it is the perfect book for busy educators to pick up, read a few pages over a quick cup of coffee before the day begins or as you kick up your feet at the end of the day. 

It feels like a quiet conversation with a close friend or dear colleague. Important topics are touched on which remind us that our feelings and thoughts and insecurities are often not as unusual as we may think. Rather, these ups and downs of life are a shared experience that couldโ€”and should!โ€”be shared more frequently and openly. The reminder that we are not alone could not come at a more pivotal time for all of us; in the past two years, we have been reminded that life is short but that seasons change. Letโ€™s make the most of what we have!

Thank you, Todd, LaNesha, Tanner, and Alice for starting this conversation. 

โ˜€๏ธโ˜€๏ธโ˜€๏ธโ˜€๏ธ

Grab it here: https://amzn.to/3O4jMqN

And do follow these great writers, educators, and thought leaders.
