Review

One of the more painful parental experiences is watching a child suffer at the hands of other kids and feeling unable to do anything about it. In What to Do ... When Kids Are Mean to Your Child, Elin McCoy helps empower parents to help their kids solve the "bully" problem. One of the book's strengths is the way McCoy consistently turns to the children--as well as parents and experts--for advice. McCoy includes six thoughtful and appropriate tactics for kids (guided, of course, by parents), as well as additional advice for what parents can effectively do. It's a short book, but it's packed with suggestions, including solutions for sibling problems, what to do when it is your child who is mean, how to help your child learn social skills, and where you can go for help.
