This book attempts to shed light on the social phenomenon of school bullying that emerges at preschool ages. It is a book that promotes opposition to violent communica-tion and bullying in early childhood education by providing non-violent communication, anti-bullying techniques and advice for teachers and parents. Within this framework, it focuses on the definitions and forms of bullying in early childhood, its manifestations, the circumstances of its manifestation, the associated risk factors and its prevention. Teachers perceptions are explored in the context of the research studies conducted re-garding important aspects of the phenomenon. Moreover, school bullying involves ver-bal and non-verbal communication elements, and it is conceptualized as a form of communication violence and miscommunication. It also includes contemporary scien-tific research data and it emphasizes the communication aspect of bullying. Teachers verbal and non-verbal behaviors affect the relationships among students and may lead to communication violence. Non-violent communication is considered the key to con-trolling bullying in educational environments. Non-violent communication is the anti-dote to communicative bullying, which creates many other forms of bullying as a result of miscommunication and para-communication among individuals. In addition, it con-tains an analysis of literary works pertaining to school bullying, as literature is regarded as an ally to the success of all efforts to address bullying. Furthermore, this book in-cludes research data regarding school bullying and its dimensions according to the per-ceptions of teachers and parents. The originality of this book is associated with the study of school bullying in early childhood and the study of its communication aspect as well as its multidisciplinary approach.

Although written for entertainment about a boy becoming ten - a milestone birthday, the story also deals with the issue of bullying, keeping secrets and not being able to talk to adults. These are common concerns for children of this age. Parents can use this book as an icebreaker to stimulate discussion on subjects many children find hard to talk openly about. Billy is entering young adulthood. He has to make sense of his environment. Like all children, he is confronted with a complex, diverse, fast changing, exciting world full of opportunities, contradictions and dangers through which he must navigate on his way to becoming a responsible adult. This is a confusing time with a plethora of conflicting information coming from a variety of sources including family, friends, peers, teachers, television and the internet. What underlies Billy's journey, as with all children, is the values he will adopt. Values provide us with the basis on which we assess the usefulness of what we are told, and how to react to situations we experience; in short, how to forge a path through life. Young children have leanings mostly gained from their parents; becoming a young adult is the time they form values for themselves. The Life Lessons Series are written to have children form positive values which will serve them at this stage in their life. Each book uses the power of traditional storytelling to illustrate, guide and shape their understanding in a safe environment. Bullying is a big problem for children today but it is also part of learning to stand up for oneself. In this story Billy, like any other child, is looking forward to a big birthday. However, the local bullies hear he's been given a twenty pound note and challenge him to hand it over. Billy realises he can't fight the gang so has had to agree to their demands. At first Billy doesn't dare tell a grownup as he feels guilty about losing it. Billy and his friend Ant try to hatch a plan to get it back. But it's not until Maxine, Ant's sister, hears about the problem that she realises an adult needs to be involved. Grandad who does party magic, is the ideal person to get it back. Max and Grandad hatch a plot. The bullies don't realise what is happening until it's too late. Grandad recovers the twenty pound note leaving the bullies bemused. Disarming a bully is the better way of dealing with them. You can't rid the world of bullies but you can do something about how you deal with them.

In 2005 we published The Handbook for Campus Crime Reporting, a compendium of U.S. Department of Education (ED) guidance on complying with the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act (Clery Act). Since that time, the Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA) was signed into law, amending the Clery Act and adding a number of safety- and security-related requirements to the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA).This new legislation necessitated writing The Handbook for Campus Safety and Security Reporting-an updated and expanded version of the previous handbook. This new version of the handbook will familiarize you with the amended Clery Act and the new regulations that were added by HEOA. Similar to the 2005 version, this handbook takes you step by step along the path to compliance and explains what the regulations mean and what they require of your institution. It also includes new examples and enhanced explanations of many topics based on questions asked of our Campus Safety and Security Help Desk over the past several years. What hasn't changed is the handbook's emphasis on compliance as a whole system of developing policy statements, gathering information from a variety of sources and translating it into the appropriate categories, issuing alerts, disseminating information, and, finally, keeping records.

One of Indigo's Best Books of 2021 So FarRehtaeh Parsons was a gifted teenager with boundless curiosity and a love for family, science, and the natural world. But her life was derailed when she went to a friend's house for a sleepover and the two of them dropped by at a neighbour's house, where a group of boys were having a party.The next day, one of the boys circulated a photo on social media: it showed Rehtaeh half naked, with a boy up against her. She had no recollection of what had happened. For 17 months, Rehtaeh was shamed from one school to the next. Bullied by her peers, she was scorned by their parents and her community. No charges were laid by the RCMP.In comfortable, suburban Nova Scotia, Rehtaeh spiralled into depression. Failed by her school, the police, and the mental health system, Rehtaeh attempted suicide on April 4, 2013. She died three days later.But her story didn't die with her. Rehtaeh's death shone a searing light on attitudes toward issues of consent and sexual assault. It also led to legislation on cyberbullying, a review of mental health services for teens, and an overhaul of how Canadian schools deal with cyber exploitation.My Daughter Rehtaeh Parsons offers an unsparing look at Rehtaeh's story, the social forces that enable and perpetuate violence and misogyny among teenagers, and parental love in the midst of horrendous loss.
