“Cowie, Tenebaum and Jones offer a thoughtful and useful resource for parents and teachers dealing with bullying. The realistic stories for children and adults to read together and other valuable information found in the book offer a holistic approach to why children are bullied and best practices for how it should be addressed.”
-- Martin D. Ruck., Professor of Psychology and Urban Education, The Graduate Center, City University of New York
The book proposes an integrative approach to bullying, emphasizing self-confidence, assertiveness, peer support, but also involvement of other caring adults.
Its major contribution to educators and other helping professionals is the provision of knowledge needed to achieve a friendly atmosphere and success in the school environment.
It is a valuable resource for teachers and parents to help children in distress but also for educators around the world.
