"Taking the Bully by the Horns" HELPS VICTIMS OF BULLYING

Take time to read "Taking the Bully by the Horns." As a teacher & child advocate I can tell you it will give you an insight to bullies, victims, & reactions. Physical, Verbal & Mental Bullying are covered. Children who are being bullied mentally are under the *control* of the bully. They are confused & looking for a way out. As the same with Adult Bullying (Dr. Carter's best-seller "Nasty People"), some bullies keep us so wrapped around their finger we don't always recognize it so readily! The book is written for ease in understanding; young people can tackle this book with success, learn why's and how's of bullying, and learn that people who are bullied don't have to be "victims," and actions--not reactions--can be taken to improve situations. This simply written book can be an effective tool against bullying and at the same time provide an insight at to why young people turn to bullying. YES, both Victims AND Bullies have low self-esteem. Arrogance should not be mistaken for a "high self-esteem." Someone who has a "good" self-esteem has no need to CONTROL. - Dr. Jay Carter The book contains chapters to help both the victims and bullies. Anybody who has actually READ the book knows the book does not teach you how to BE a victim. It teaches that people/kids don't *have* to BE victims, while offering helpful insight to both handling/stopping the bullying and improving self-esteem throughout the entire book.

Take the bully has helped my child tremendously

My child has come under attack from other children at her school, and becoming aware of this book and listening to the advice offered was the best help we could of hoped for.Her self esteem has been boosted and she is now aware that it is not her that is the problem but rather the other children who have the real problems.I would like to personally thank Kathy Noll and Dr. Carter for caring enough to put together this much needed information.For us it has been a godsend! Thank you so much

Excellent *****

I felt this book captured a piece of society that has been grossly overlooked! Kathy desreves two thumbs up for her excellent effort to help those faced with these problems. She has given guidiance counslers a very powerful tool in empowering children of all ages to find the strength and know how in relating to bullies of all kinds, big and small, friend or foe. I highly recommend this book to anyone whose ever been, ever has, or someday may be bullied.

A very informative and educational vehicle for kids & teens.

Kathy has written a very informative and educational vehicle for elementary age and middle school children, in terms that they can easily understand! She has handled the subject of bullying quite well, especially since she has had first hand experience with it. She is a truly gifted writer, and I am proud to admit that she is my niece. Good work, Kathy. It's a go!!

Useful for self-defense instructors who work with children

Working for many years with children who are the victims of bullying I feel I have found a useful tool explaining the reasons why some kids hurt other kids. It is difficult to identify the behaviors children should be aware of before the bullying even begins. I feel Ms. Noll has done the job very well. I would recommend this book to all my friends as well as parents in our organization. It is a "must read" for all martial arts instructors.
