Our new book, How to Stop Bullying and Social Aggression: Elementary Grade Lessons That Teach Empathy, Friendship and Respect, has hit the shelves of bookstores and has gotten great reviews. Take a look at what noted authors James Garbarino (And Words Can Hurt Forever & Lost Boys), Cheryl Delasega (Surviving Ophelia, Girl Wars, & Mean Girls Grown Up) and Alan Beane (The Bully Free Program) had to say:
“Once educators appreciate the psychological and social significance of bullying, harassment and emotional violence in school they are ready to translate that awareness into concrete actions to change the direction of social climate in the classroom, in the hallways, in the cafeteria, in the gym, and on the playground. This is where How to Stop Bullying and Social Aggression comes in. In it Breakstone and his colleagues offer a well grounded strategy and a series of tactical exercises designed to accomplish this critical mission. I recommend it!” James Garbarino, PhD, Director, Center for the Human Rights of Children at Loyola University Chicago and author of And Words Can Hurt Forever: How to Protect Adolescents from Bullying, Harassment, and Emotional Violence & Lost Boys: Why Our Sons Turn Violent & How We Can Save Them
“The founders of Balance Educational Services have provided a practical book packed with the kinds of anti-bullying strategies teachers, coaches, therapists, and kids regularly request. Rather than cite statistics and share stories, these authors hit the ground running by encouraging both adults and youth to take action. Every chapter is packed with tips on how to stay physically and emotionally safe when bullying occurs. Using a dynamic and interactive style, children are coached to practice assertive behaviors and avoid the victim role. The authors’ guide to understanding friendship qualities will help many children recognize more subtle and social forms of aggression. Throughout, realistic drawings offer additional clarification. Aimed at younger students, the numerous easy-to-implement activities involve appropriate humor, engagement of the group, and a clear approach to understanding and responding to bullying. Students can keep the lists of common conflict situations and assertive communication statements handy as prompts or for practice.” Cheryl Dellasega, Ph.D., Professor, Department of Humanities, Penn State College of Medicine and Professor of Women's Studies at Penn State University, Founder of Club Ophelia and author of Surviving Ophelia, Girl Wars, & Mean Girls Grown Up
“This timely book includes perfectly sequenced, content enriched and practical lessons that will enhance any anti-bullying effort. The student-focused activities will facilitate and maintain learning of important anti-bullying concepts that can never be over emphasized.” Allan L. Beane, Ph.D., Founder and President, Bully Free Systems, LLC, and author of The Bully Free Program
