 good concept - but lacks practical advice November 16, 2008

This is a book a child can read, and will gain comfort that he/she isn't alone in being bullied. I don't feel it fully addresses bullying or gives practical step - by - step advice. It doesn't provide several - step senarios. As in, if you've tried our advice and it didn't work, go on to do this next, if that doesn't work, do this next. I was hoping for a book that would address the issue comprehensively.
 Thank heaven for this book! June 10, 2008

This book was just what my 7 year old needed. No matter what advice I tried to give her, she was still filled with anxiety. This book spoke to her and really sunk in. Last night, she was crying. Tonight, after we read the book together, she was feeling stronger, practicing what she could say back to the mean girl, and had a confident smile on her face. I ordered 3 bullying books and this was by far her favorite.
Another Ace for Trevor Romain! June 1, 2008

This is a great mini book about bullying and, most importantly, how to deal with it. Great for educators and parents alike!
Best 4 kids---Bully-Proofing Children Best 4 Parents and Teachers April 28, 2008
Mark From The Bronx (New York)
Yes, this is a great book for every child to read or for a parent to read to a child. But don't stop there...every parent and teacher should also readBully-Proofing Children: A Practical, Hands-On Guide to Stop Bullying This is by far the best book on bullying currently in the marketplace. Not only is it comprehensive in defining the problem and its participants including the victim, bully and bystander but goes into detail on cyberbullying. What makes this book outstanding is its detailed approach to solving the problem in schools and preventing it before it happens. The author, an educator and counselor who specializes in this vary topic,and a parent sets forth step-by-step lesson plans for teachers and parents; stories for parents to read and discuss with their children;steps to take to be proactive in creating a bully-free environment in the home, classroom and school as well as how to intervene to stop it...A ++ rating
Tool of Empowerment January 18, 2007

Bullying can range from the insidious, verbal cruelty and exclusion which girls are notorious for to full scale violence, which occurs among both sexes. br / br /This book is a tool of empowerment for parents, educators and anybody involved with children on any level. One thing that is VITAL to keep in mind is NEVER make light of bullies and their cruelty. That will only make the child being bullied feel that the bullying behavior is being sanctioned and that recourse is out of the question. Making excuses for bullies also compromises respect; children are hard put to feel respect for an adult who exercises such poor judgment and appears to be taken in by bullies. br / br /Condoning bullying behavior and mouthing platitudes to the bullied, such as "can't you take a joke/s/he's only kidding/work it out for yourself/you're too sensitive" is just as harmful as the bullying behavior. Platitudes of that ilk send out a "blame the victim" message and suggest that the bullying is not a serious matter when in fact it is. Recent events and relevant studies have shown that many school shooters were bullied. br / br /Turning the other cheek means, I believe not responding to cruelty with cruelty. Self defense is an entirely different matter. Bullies will step up their abuse if they are not kept in check. They will continue to harass their targeted victims until they get the desired response. That is why telling children to ignore bullies does not work. Bullies don't let that one work. br / br /Trevor Romain is a genius who clearly understands a myriad of dynamics among children. His clever cartoon pictures and his question and answer section open the doors to discourse and problem solving. I like the way he encourages readers to think of what they would do if they were being bullied and also to see if they are acting as bullies towards anyone else. br / br /An excellent book to read with children and one they are sure to come back to enjoy. br /
