The Fight Against Bullying

One of the biggest fears that parents of students preparing for middle school have is bullies' aggressive attacks. There is a big difference, though, between being a target and becoming a victim. The Fight Against Bullying aims to help parents understand the culture of bullying and what they can do proactively to protect their child. Based on a presentation made to parent groups in public schools, private schools, and community groups since 2003, Joseph Michael Van Deuren, in straight forward, easy to read format:

• Describes the eight characters of bullying and how they are affected for a lifetime.

• Identifies

  • Five types of bullying
  • Five characteristics bullies look for in a victim
  • 12 signs your child is the target of a bully
  • Nine reasons children don't tell their parents right away.

• Describes preventive training in five areas - so your child does not become a victim

  • Social Competence
  • Self-Confidence
  • Communication
  • Assertiveness
  • Self-Esteem

• Describes how a community can begin the Fight Against Bullying

You may not be able to prevent your child from being a target of bullying but you can proactively prepare your child to not become a victim. Of course, the earlier you start, the better but the suggestions in this book work for all ages.
