Synopsis

This unique manual was developed to help parents assist their children in dealing with bullying situations. It can be used independently or serve as the parent involvement component for a Bully Buster's school-based program. The book promotes an understanding of the nature and extent of bullying - the physical, emotional, and educational consequences to children who are targets of bullying, who do the bullying, or who as bystanders are directly affected by witnessing bullying and victimization. Includes case examples based on the experiences of real families.
