Break the Pain Chain

For parents desperate to protect their child from being bullied or stop him from being a bully, this book has tactics to improve the situation. I discovered the book from a review in Ladies Home Journal. The author also founded a nationwide educational program BullySafeUSA. Your child may not tell you about all that happens to him, but if you see problems with mental health, self-esteem, thoughts about suicide, and slipping school work, then it may be bullying.

Bullies, Targets & Witnesses: Helping Children Break the Pai

As a School Health Educator working with children of all ages, my emphasis is violence prevention. In fact, bullying programs make up 90% of my work throughout Missouri. In this book, SuEllen and Paula have crystalized my ideas about what is essential to teach people of all ages about peer abuse. I was particularly impressed with the extensive references to research, and the countless stories that support the ideas in their book. If we are to help children take their place in society as adults, we must equip them with appropriate skills and information. These ideas are neatly laid out for readers in Bullies, Targets & Witnesses. I gained a greater understanding of the underlying complexities of each role in a variety of bullying situations, and ways to handle them.Parents, educators and counselors who truly care about creating a kinder generation to follow in our footsteps will find Bullies, Targets & Witnesses a very useful resource.
