New anti-bully book released just in time for school year
East St. Paul, Manitoba, Canada (PRWEB) September 10, 2004 -- Bullies are a growing problem in schools and neighbourhoods. Children's author, Rita Y. Toews has just released a new children's book entitled, The Bully: A Discussion and Activity Story. The Bully addresses the issue of bullies in the school and gives helpful suggestions to both parents and children on how to deal with the stressful situation in a positive manner.
Originally published as an e-book, The Bully received much interest as well as repeated requests for a print version. A teacher from Texas called the author to say, "I need it in a print version. I need something I can hand to the students and their parents." That enthusiasm, plus an order for 200 books destined for 6 U.S. schools, resulted in the paper publication of the book.
In The Bully, a story about bullying is followed by a question and answer section for children. The questions help children express their feelings about bullies, and the answers provide practical ways to deal with bullying. The illustrations for the story can be coloured while the subject of bullying is discussed.
The adult's section of The Bully contains a question and answer portion that informs parents and caregivers about bullying. It offers information for dealing with a bully situation in a way that demonstrates positive role modelling to children. Additional informational resources are also provided.
The Bully is an invaluable aid for parents, schools, community organizations, and agencies working with children.
"...Many people dismiss bullying as just 'high spirits', 'toughening up', 'part of life'. It isn't. It is a junior version of criminal activity, and it causes immense harm. What's more, it causes as much harm to the bully as to the victim. Many habitual residents of jails cut their teeth in the school ground, and if they'd been stopped then, they might have grown into law-abiding members of society. So, we all suffer from bullying..." – Dr. Bob Rich, M.Sc,. Ph.D., author of Anger and Anxiety
"This is a wonderful resource, love the illustrations. I conduct workshops for educators and parents and will definitely be recommending this book to them." -- Pat Maliszewski, Program Director/Trainer Character Unlimited
"I am a therapist at a Florida Juvenile Justice Facility. We use your materials to teach the youth about the negative consequences of bullying, how it feels and what to do about it. Thank you for your excellent presentation." -- B.C., Florida Juvenile Justice Facility
