The Bully Action Guide: How to Help Your Child and Get Your School to Listen
“This book is an indispensable tool and support for parents of children dealing with bullying issues in school. Ed Dragan empowers parents to take action and protect their children from harassment and teaches them to intervene effectively with teachers and principals.”--Jodee Blanco,New York Timesbestselling author ofPlease Stop Laughing At Me“In my work I see many understandably frustrated parents become desperate to figure out how to enlist the school when their child is bullied. How should they approach the teacher? What happens if the teacher won't recognize the problem? What should you do if the school refuses to do anything to stop the bullies?The Bully Action Guidefills a critical gap in the resources available for parents. Not only does it provide clear strategies for when to approach educators but how. The book is filled with simple yet powerful scripts for parents to use to clearly communicate their child's rights and hold educators responsible in a way that gives the parent the best chance of working in collaboration with the school. I am strongly recommending this book for all parents.”—Rosalind Wiseman, author ofQueen Bees and Wannabes"The Bully Action Guideis a must-have for anyone who is concerned about a child being bullied. Offering calm but effective dialogue templates, a "chain of command" hierarchy to follow when results aren't forthcoming at one level, and tips on what to document and how, Dr. Dragan provides the steps to help both parents and authorities communicate more effectively."--Cheryl Dellasega, author ofMean Girls Grown Up“The Bully Action Guideis a priceless resource for any parent, grandparent and family member wanting to ensure their child's safety.”--Maureen Healy, author of365 Perfect Things to Say to Your Kids“A most important book for any parent whose child is being bullied!
