Every young person will need this book at some time in his or her life! A parent-child resource book, How to Handle Bullies, Teasers and Other Meanies covers
*annoying name calling,
*vicious prejudice,
*explosive anger,
*dangerous situations, and
*causes of difficult behavior.
It contains more than twelve ways for melting meanness. It uses dozens of examples and practice exercises to teach a comic approach to handling cruelty. It shows young people how to put spiritual truths in to action. It gives parents, teachers, and counselors a method to help young people help themselves with an approach that goes far beyond assertiveness in its mastery of meanness.

My 8 year old son spent about 40 minutes with this book and the next day he and his best friend were using the book's concepts to invent good resposes to insults. That's what I call practical.

This book is terrific for kids who have a difficult time understanding that they can answer back peers who tease. It allows them to grasp the concept that kids do tease, and they can be empowered to choose a technque such as "Play the Game" to respond. I roleplay these scenarios with my patients so that they can use the right tone of voice and body language. They enjoy it, and there is buy-in for practice.
