Groundbreaking books have peered into the psychology of bullying and the
cultural climate that--seemingly now more than ever--gives rise to such
cruelty and aggression. But few have been able to synthesize what we
know into 8 simple, targeted "keys" that equip educators, professionals,
and parents with practical strategies to tackle the issue head-on. This
book answers that call.
Social media bullying--and the recent tragedies stemming from it--has
given the widespread problem a new dimension. While no magic cure-all
exists, adults can learn and implement all sorts of quick and easy
techniques that can make a huge difference in the lives of kids. In 8
core strategies, this book lays them out, from establishing meaningful
connections with kids to creating a positive school climate, addressing
cyberbullying, building social emotional competence, reaching out to
bullies, empowering bystanders, and much more.
