“Few parenting challenges compare to helping a kid cope with teasing or being left out. With empathy and understanding, Mom, They’re Teasing Me gives parents age-by-age information and practical advice to guide and comfort kids through every stage of their so-called social lives.”

“What a wonderful and helpful book. It is right on target dealing with a very difficult issue—one that all parents confront—in a truly sensitive and intelligent manner. Above all, Michael Thompson and Lawrence Cohen give answers—why it happens and what to do about it. I was really impressed by their ability to make helpful sense out of a truly difficult part of child-raising.”
