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.

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

of its communication aspect as well as its multidisciplinary
approach. Scholars, students, educators and parents are the main
audiences of this book as its contents are extremely interesting

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.
