The Bully Action Guide How to Help Your Child and Get Your School to Listen [Paperback]

Bullying used to be thought of as an unpleasant rite of passage, but now psychologists are realizing that it inflicts real harm. As many as 40 percent of children report that they've experienced episodes of bullying at school or online through their school community. School safety expert Edward Dragan argues that parents need to be proactive in looking out for their children's social well being at school. From his many decades as a Board of Education insider, he argues that schools are self-protective entities and reluctant to address bullying themselves.

The Bully Action Guideshows parents how to:

discuss bullying with their child

efficiently address individual needs with teachers

take effective action to stop the bullying
