Book excerpt: Much time, effort and money has been expended on anti-bullying initiatives over the years. Have they worked for your child? If not, then you need this workbook. In this practical How to Protect Your Child from Bullies, former headteacher Dr Coral Milburn-Curtis dismisses previous ineffective initiatives and presents an evidenced-based approach, based upon the view that teaching children how to handle bullies is an essential life skill. How to Protect Your Child from Bullies is a practical workbook which will give parents: strategies for building up their child's self-esteem and resistance to bullying; techniques for handling bullies and cyberbullies; life-skills for resisting peer pressure and saying 'No'; help to work out friendship problems, cliques and gossips; and forms and letters for dealing with schools.
