Bully Proof: Practical StrategiesWe have all been affected by violence, intimidation, and bullying to some degree. Children are especially vulnerable to the lasting pain and trauma of these experiences. When we give them the tools and understanding, children can develop the confidence, courage, and knowledge to alter their experiences and to thrive in a world where bullies have always existed. Bully Proof is designed to provide parents, educators, and coaches with concepts, story telling, and practical strategies to help guide children on the path to let go of fear and embrace personal growth. Children can build strong, ethical character traits that go way beyond being competent with bullies. |
