How to Handle the Bully at School (Paperback)

When a child is guided correctly to deal strategically with a bully, he will grow up differently. The situation will become a springboard instead of a cliff. They feel empowered instead of fearful. They learn that conflict is inevitable, but dealing correctly with conflict doesn’t have to be a roadblock – just a temporary detour to navigate around. Parents who use these skills to educate their children will find a bright light at the end of what sometimes feels like a dark tunnel.
