Most children experience kindness, courage and friendship, as well as teasing and bullying during their elementary school years. Victimization due to bullying may result in absenteeism, social exclusion, lower academic achievement and internalizing problems such as depression, anxiety, and lower psychosocial adjustments. Few schools have the time and resources to help children with these issues. A Family Guidebook on Bullies, Self-Esteem and Hidden Hurts! is the first interactive family guidebook designed to help children build resilience, improve self-esteem and reduce violence and bullying in our schools. The easy-to-read information, worksheets and role-plays encourage open dialogue between parents and their children, and help children understand and deal with social and emotional issues and concerns that they face today. |
