عبر عن نفسك وتوافق مع الآخرين

by Scott Cooper

لو كان التوافق مع الآخرين سهلا، لاستطاع الجميع اجادته، ولما تشاجر أحد، أو تعارك أو تعدى على الآخرين أو سخر منهم، ولعرفنا جميعا كيف نكون صداقات ونحافظ عليها، ولشعرنا بشعور أفضل كثيرا تجاه أنفسنا. ولكن التوافق ليس بالأمر السهل، والواقع أنه قد يكون صعبا للغاية. ألن يكون رائعا لو توافر لديك صندوق أدوات يزخر بطرق عديدة للتوافق والانسجام مع الآخرين؟ صندوق متاح لك لتخرج منه كلمات وأفكارا يمكنك تجربتها في المدرسة، أو المنزل، أو الجوار، أو أي مكان تتواجد فيه مع أناس آخرين.

This book is about different tools that help you with different situations. This book has 116 pages and 21 tools. I loved how the author used different birds to start the chapters. I give this book 4 out of 5 stars because it could really help people out using these different tools. I was so surprised that I have used these tools before but I never knew the names of them! Overall I really enjoyed this book!

A very useful book for you if you have ever been bullied.

[Sara]

Great introduction to relationship and problem solving techniques for children.

[Ami]

A kids' primer on anti-bullying techniques and keeping one's emotions and actions in check. Sections are themed by bird--for example, the conflict resolution techniques are called "Tools of the Dove". I especially liked the "Tools of the Owl", meant to help you see clearly in the darkness within, which dealt with separating your emotions from your thoughts, and trying to reframe your thoughts, which will hopefully help change negative emotions. Like most juvenile nonfiction I read, some of it is too simple to apply to my adult life, which is, you know, totally expected, but some of it is really good stuff and is way easier to learn BECAUSE it has been simplified. I've been trying to practice the "But Twist" during the day. You hear your self talk getting negative, and then you counter it with a "but...[related positive thought:]". So, "it's dumb that I read so much juvenile nonfiction...but sometimes I get a lot out of them and they make me feel confident to continue my learning in more depth using adult resources". Sweet!

I picked this book up when my daughter, a 4th grader, was having bullying issues during her extracurriculars. This book teachers children social skills and how to deal with difficult situations. It makes difficult issues simpler by giving real-life examples that readers will be able to visualize and put into practice.
A great resource to have in your classroom and in your home.

While the advice in the book was nothing new, I like how it gave each strategy a name and specific role playing situation for kids to use. It could be a great teaching tool for class meetings and character education.

Good tools and strategies for the kids... I am 'pre-reading' a bunch for them... can you tell? ;-)

[Genevieve Caron]
