Steigelman Parents are always searching for ways to help children deal with difficult adolescent issues. Dr. Scaglione's book offers both parents and children great insight into the problem and practical solutions to cope with the issue of bullying. -- Anna Merriman Dr. Scaglione has produced an important work on an important subject and given the high stakes of inaction, no parent or educator should underestimate how critical it is to prioritize this issue, move it to the front burner and take the correct courses of action to keep our schools emotionally safe places to learn. A wise person once said that schools should focus their improvement efforts on the 'alterable variables,' and each reader will come away from this insightful book knowing that as devastating as bullying can be, it is also a dynamic that we, as caring adults, can and should address head on. -- Robert Fraisse, Ph.D. We know that bullying has its start as early as elementary school, and often earlier. If addressed, the behavior can go through a series of metamorphoses as children move through middle and high school. [Bully-Proofing Children] will give parents and educators a comprehensive reference source [that] will help them address bullying from grades K-12. While policies and protocols are all important, informed adults willing and intellectually equipped to act are our number-one source as we battle what is too often considered an unavoidable part of growing up. -- Frank V. Auriemma, Ph.D [Bully-Proofing Children] is a user-friendly, comprehensive guide to the 'bullying' crisis this generation of kids is facing. Whether read by parents, teachers, or students, these tips and tools will help everyone become proactive and address these problems before they hit crisis level, as well as intervene to support and assist kids that are being bullied and are bullying. A must-read for everyone involved with kids today. -- Claire Telford, MA, MFT
