I had to read this book for school. It did have Some good information in it, BUT most of the book felt like one huge advertisement. It seemed the authors were more concerned with selling their "program" than truly providing solid and legitimate, factual information.

An excellent resource for educators who want to help their students develop the necessary skills to manage and resolve conflict in their schools, homes, and communities.
