No Room for Bullies: From the Classroom to Cyberspace
Teaching Respect, Stopping Abuse, and Rewarding Kindness
Editors: by Jose Bolton, Ph.D., & Stan Graeve, M.A.

This book shatters popular myths about bullying to reveal its stark realities. You'll learn who's playing the intimidation game, and how they play it. From social exclusion, physical violence, and emotional backstabbing to sexual sleaze and cyberbullying. But No Room for Bullies takes you beyond problem recognition to proven solutions.

Parents will find.

  • How to advocate for a child and work with the school when school bullying is a problem

  • Safe Internet-Surfing Contract for kids that lays down the law on Internet use at home

  • Helpful strategies on what to do when a child acts like a bully, is a bullying victim, or suffers from "bystander silence"
School administrators will find.

  • Suggestions on how to measure the social climate of schools, including sample surveys to give to students, staff, and parents

  • A 12-point checklist on preventing problems in hallways, classrooms, and common areas
Teachers will find.

  • Advice for creating and enforcing classroom rules, including an "Airport Rule" that gives students a sense of safety

  • Ideas to minimize the chaos that occurs during passing periods and in "unowned" areas like restrooms and hallways
The contributing authors include child psychologists, parent trainers, and teachers. Drawing on their years of experience, they tackle bullying from all the angles: the bully, the victim, the bystander, the teacher, the parent, and the environment.

Reviews:
Terrific resource for parents and educators! Being bullied is certainly scary whether you're an adult or a child, but especially if you're a child. The book's section on Internet bullying is especially timely in light of recent controversy about MySpace.com and other sites utilized by teens.
Stories about bullies are followed by how you can help (your child, your friend, yourself). The various types of bullying are discussed, and there are quotes by now-famous victims of bullies: 2003 Miss America Erika Harold, actor Tom Cruise, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton and actor Harrison Ford. This book is a valuable resource for parents, educators and students.
