Clear, compassionate and practical

[Deborah · Rating 5 out of 5]

Excellent, practical resource. I will be applying strategies from this book in the coming year.

[Sara Siegesmund · Rating 3 out of 5]

This would be a great read for someone who is new to working on a bullying prevention program, or a new school counselor. There were some good suggestions in this book, but most of the information I already knew. The recommended ages were for levels elem - middle school, but I found a lot of it would fit more towards elementary level kids. I was hoping to find some brilliant strategies to implement, and just didn't really see any. I took away a few ideas, but not the amount I was expecting.

Pretty much straightforward. I already knew most of the strategies that were talked about in this book and learned some new ones. The issue I had with this book was that some of the strategies seem to work more for a younger demographic.

[Erinn · Rating 4 out of 5]

As a middle school teacher, I found this book to be geared more towards elementary school, but it was still helpful.

[Mary Alice · Rating 5 out of 5]

I know this is a book I will revisit often as an elementary school teacher. It is extremely informative about bullying and strategies for teachers and parents to use.
