Preventing Bullying: Helping Kids Form Positive Relationships
Kevorkian, Meline
Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, Inc.
Now more than ever, bullying has become common among students in American schools and playgrounds. According to the U.S. Justice Department, one in four children is bullied every day. As a result of these incidents, children may suffer from anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem. This book was written for today's parents and teachers who are looking for ways to battle the continual exposure to school violence that may leave students desensitized to "mean" behavior. Easy to understand and implement, this book encourages students to put themselves in someone else's shoes and recognize the difference between right and wrong in social situations. Each chapter contains advice, practical tips, examples, and activities to help students form healthy relationships in school. The table of contents include: (1) Good Friend?; (2) We, Not I; (3) Do Unto Others; (4) Be Aware of Bullies!; (5) Bully Beware!; (6) Half Full or Half Empty?; (7) Well Said, Ladies and Gentlemen!; (8) Please and Thank You!; and (9) Parent Sense.
