I needed reading material so I went to the Library Thursday before taking my girl to the pool and got this great book.


Bullyproof Your Child for Life Protect your child from Teasing, Taunting , and Bullying for good.
Written by Joel Haber, ph.D "the bully coach"

*It explains the different kinds and how things can start and advice on how to approach the children or teens along with what to do about it, etc. I am already almost half way through it for it is interesting reading not boring.

I only have 80 pages left in it and it fully describes the definition and different types of bullying. Then it gives you how to talk to the children or teens and the what to do about it and the author says the school needs to provide a safe environment for the kids and tells you if the teachers and Principal are of no help to go the the Superintendent and the school board committee. As parents we can ask for a copy of the Bullying policy and if they do not have one demand one lots of ways to take action. The Author tells parents we need to be calm talking to our kids for the more we react the more they will. I like the role playing it mentions so kids can toughen up by planned ignoring and not showing any reaction and getting the body to not make not contradict the actions.
