This book is one of the best. Opens new perspectives to understanding of bullying. Very helpfull and practical. Thanks to the author. Great work.

I've never been a bully, but IF I could bully you into buying this book...

Seriously, did you know today's bullies have high self esteem but often lack empathy? This is why they feel "better" after they put someone down. From discussing the three major types of bullying (verbal, physical and relational) to listing the methods used including cyber bullying (the use of modern day technology to execute any or all of the above methods of bullying s/a text messages, internet and you tube to actually broadcast bullying episodes to a much larger audience while the perpetrators remain anonymous.) Author Joel Haber, (along with Jenna Glatzer) helps parents and anyone in constant contact with children decipher the reasons bullying is so prevalent in our schools and what we can do about it. He discusses prevention and awareness in many situations including how aggression and competition in sports encourages bullying. He discusses the importance of helping children become accepting of adversity (s/a special needs children.) Haber also lists signs a child is being bullied and the importance of talking to your child whether he/she is a target of the bully or the actual bully. This book with chapter titles s/a The Bullyproofing Prescription or Bullying in Sports/School/Camp/Cyberworld offers a straightforward approach to effectively dealing with one of our nation's most degrading crimes occuring in our schools everyday. This book serves as an eye opener to any parent or school service provider. We can't let bullying be ignored.

A Must Read for School Professionals!

Dr. Haber first came to the school district where I work as an Occupational Therapist and made a big impact with his "ABC" bully proof strategies. It is wonderful to now have such an easy read with sensible strategies that both parents and teaching professionals can benefit from. Most everyone has experienced bullying on some level. Awareness and understanding are at the forefront of how to deflect and protect oneself or one's child from the harsh effects of bullying. Thank you for your compassion and well thought out support Dr. Haber!

A great step by step guide

This is a great, easy to read guide to helping your kid with any bullying issue. I liked Dr. Haber's analysis of the core issues behind bullying which, as it turns out, are the keys to stopping the behavior. I would highly recommend the book.

Thank you Dr. Haber

Thank you Dr. Haber! Thank you for this helpful informative book. I could not recommend it more highly for parents and teachers. We are all touched by bullying at some level. This book is a useful aid no matter your vantage point. From the first page I was amazed at just how much I didn't know and hadn't thought of. The best part-the book is readable, not a textbook or a dry manual. But a book that talks in plain language and really does give useable suggestions. You helped me and my children. Thank you
