This book offers concrete strategies to empower children and teenagers to deal confidently with bullying and dominant characters. Parents can't always be there to protect their kids as they make their way in the world. What they can do is equip them with the tools kids need to ensure they have a positive social experience. Stella O'Malley identifies effective ways for families to cope when bullying occurs, including approaching the school authorities, communicating with the bully's parents and tips to tackle cyberbullying.
