This is the first book I've come across that covers both sides of bullying. Not only does he cover tactics for victims, but also spends an equal amount of time covering solutions for bullies and their families. I am thankful for this, because over time, we've been on both sides of this coin. It's not a easy situation, no matter what your "side" is. I like his positive, non-blaming approach. Instead, he focuses on making positive changes. We have to realize that bullies need support and guidance, too; maybe even more so. Highly recommend this book!!

Great resource for all aspects of the issue. Bottom line: keep in touch with your kids. Know them and love them.
