Chapter Two: Is She Mad at Me? Good Girl Communication Rituals

Okay, ladies.  If you are reading this book, you know what this chapter is about:  Assumptions.  Remember what happens when we assume?  Unfortunately, I just kept thinking, "Women do this.  Not just girls.  Not just high schoolers, but WOMEN do this too." 

We make assumptions and often it shakes our confidence.  We think we know what others are thinking about us by the way they look at us, talk to us, and act in general.  We do not always open our minds and seek to understand.  We often first ASSUME we understand instead of seeking to do so. 

The girls in this chapter are often their own worst enemy because they make an assumption about the intended meaning of an action which results in a kind of self fulfilling prophecy.  Here is the question I pose, mothers:  In what way do we let these types of actions impact us today?
