Another book my retired teacher friend gave to me. It's a nice look at how to teach lessons on bullying in an easy to implement manner. I love how it has book suggestions too.

The entire book was informative and reaffirmed the value of Responsive Classroom in addressing students' social and emotional needs. The sample lessons in chapter 6, provide a framework to talk about bullying with students.

This book had a lot of good strategies and conversations to use in the classroom to help prevent bullying. There are lesson plans and books to use to springboard the difficult classrooms. Every chapter also includes ways to keep parents in the loop.
