Description

It’s the deadliest combination going. Bullies who get what they want from their target, bullied kids who are afraid to tell, bystanders who either watch, participate, or look away, and adults who see the incidents as simply ‘teasing’ and a normal part of childhood.

We have only to look at the headlines to understand that this is a recipe for tragedy.

Some bullying victims, their cries unheard, have fought back with violence that has devastated entire communities; others have committed suicide; many more suffer in silence, their lives a constant round of emotional and physical pain.

Readers will learn:

What bullying is and what it isn’t: the three kinds of bullying; and the differences and similarities between boy and girl bullies.
The role bystanders play in escalating the violence, and the impact on the cycle of violence when a bystander becomes a witness, a resister, or a defender.
How to read the subtle clues that a child is being bullied and what you can do to help Seven steps to take if your child is a bully.
Four abilities that protect your child from succumbing to a bully.
Why zero tolerance policies can equal zero thinking and a constructive alternative.
