Grounded in research, this book offers a collection of stories,
activities, and teaching techniques to empower children and teens
to effectively handle bullying and conflicts, as well as avoid drug
use and low self-esteem. Research clearly shows that our schools
are often unhealthy social environments: 80 percent of middle
school students report seeing arguments or fights every day at
school. Almost three out of four (70 percent) of surveyed girls
ages 8-17 report symptoms of low self-esteem. Even worse, most of
these girls reported falling into patterns of dysfunctional
behavior, such as bullying, disordered eating, or smoking or
drinking when feeling badly. In this book, author Kevin Strauss has
carefully laid out background information, traditional stories, and
skill-building activities that will enable teachers to help their
students master bullying and drug prevention, self-control, and
conflict resolution, as well as establish healthy self-esteem and
optimism. The "Story/Activity/Discussion" approach of this text
makes the serious task of learning and practicing critical life
skills fun for both teachers and students. This story-based
approach also increases retention of building-block skills,
especially for younger students. Includes over 80 traditional and
adapted folk tales and stories from around the world Four annotated
bibliographies that include fiction and nonfiction books on topics
like bully prevention, drug abuse prevention, conflict resolution,
and self-esteem Glossary listings are provided with stories
containing unfamiliar words and difficult pronunciations
