Overview

"Hi! I'm Scarlett. Other kids used to pick on me all the time, but guess what I figured out? If you turn your encounters with bullies into a game, they will get bored and leave you alone. Quite simply, it won't be fun for them any more! And you'll do it all without sinking to their level. Now, let me teach you how to play... Baffle That Bully! is an empowering children's book that shows you don't have to be victim of bullying just because you're a target of bullying. It's about overcoming bullying and believing in yourself. The book's heroine Scarlett teaches a 3-step strategy for how to turn your encounters with bullies into a game. These 3 steps are a combination of (1) how to maintain your cool while (2) doing or saying something that will confuse (baffle!) the bully. Children can use these 3 steps (which are actually coping skills) to stay and calm and happy no matter what the bully says or does. Baffle That Bully! was written by a family to help other families: co-written by 9-year-old Chase Anichini, who was the target of emotional bullying for 2 years, and her mother Amy Jones Anichini. Chase's story and characters are brought to life through the beautiful illustrations of her 12-year-old sister Jordan Anichini. Baffle That Bully! is a message to bullied kids that (1) they are not alone; (2) the bullies are the ones with the problem - not them; and (3) even though they might feel powerless, the reality is that they do have the power to take back control of their lives and their happiness. Then, Scarlett gives them tools to empower them and help them turn those affirmations into action. After purchasing the book, you and your child can talk to Scarlett via BaffleThatBully.com and ask her questions about handling bullies and/or playing the game! Visit our site to ""Ask Scarlett"""
