E-book Title: How to Stop Bullying
Author: Gail Matthews
Book Description: Once and For All! A Guide for Parents. As good parents we protect our children. We make certain they receive the best healthcare. We make sure their dental needs are met. We teach them not to speak to strangers and how to cross a busy street.
But, what happens when your child is bullied? Unlike the old jokes about "my Dad will beat up your Dad," the reality is that this is an old problem exacerbated by our modern lifestyles.
It used to be that when Billy ran home with a bloody nose, Mom would be there to wipe away the tears and help him understand that there would people in the world who do mean things.
Nowadays Billy probably goes to a sitter or daycare. Or, if he's a little bit older goes home to an empty house. Bullying has been around since the first little Neanderthal boy or girl had their lunch taken away by someone bigger and stronger.
For a millennium parents have tried to protect their children from bullies. And, while you may not have given much thought to it, there are adult bullies as well. If you stop and think about it, you'll be able to spot them within your sphere of contacts and acquaintances.
Finally, someone has given us a tool to help us understand and interact with the bullies in our lives. That's right, we're talking about a manual to teach us "How to Stop Bullying."
For instance, did you know that there are almost a dozen different types of bullying? It's true. Knowing what kind of bullying you or your child is dealing with shortens the road to eliminating it.
Take a look at some of the other topics covered:
- Who are the bullies and where do they come from?
- What is causing the bullying?
- Why are specific children targeted?
- How children become victims and what are the effects?
- How to help YOUR children
There is much more included in "How to Stop Bullying." But one of the most critical chapters is "Signs That Your Child May Be a Target." There could be nothing else in this guide and it would be worth it for this information alone!
The chances are very high that you will recognize one or more of these signs in your own children!
Identifying the problem is only half the battle, however. How do you guide your child toward resolution? "How to Stop Bullying" will give you definitive skills to help you teach your children how to handle resolve situations that arise in his or her life when they encounter bullies.
Unfortunately we will probably never eliminate bullying from our lives. But, the good news is that you now have a tool to banish it from YOUR life. Grab your copy now and set the bullies scurrying from your life now!
