BULLIES, BIGMOUTHS & SO-CALLED FRIENDS PB

Most books about bullying tell children how to act without addressing how they feel. But the usual advice to ignore it or say something smart is doomed to fail, as you cant act brave and confident if you feel stressed and helpless inside. Jenny Alexanders approach is to develop readers psychological defences. Through an entertaining mix of exercises, quizzes and fictional scenarios, she combines common sense with simple cognitive therapy techniques, to build up childrens self esteem. Her tone is humorous and upbeat, but always sensitive to the readers feelings. This new, updated edition takes account of recent technologies such as texting, MSN and bluejacking, which are increasingly abused by bullies.
