I am shocked to learn from this book that 1 out of every 5 children is being bullied in school, and the bullying can occur as early as daycare! The psychological repercussions could last years, if not for a lifetime.This book is a useful guide for any parent - most children will not tell you if they've been bullied at school. The author covers different angles on bullying - understanding where it comes, how to spot if your child has been bullied and how to deal with it.There is also a section on cyber bullying - what came to mind immediately for me was the tragic story of Megan Meier. That should have a been a wake-up call for parents & lawmakers on the severity of the problem and how more needs to be done.But what if your child is the bully? This book also offers some suggestions on what to do. I agree with the author that a parent should be responsible for their child and be a good role model. It is also important to keep communications open.An easy but interesting read.
