Long before most school programs begin anti-bullying campaigns,
young girls are getting a full education in social aggression.
Girls as young as age five are experiencing acts of bullying,
disguised as friendship, that shake the carefully laid foundations
of their self-image, personal values, and beliefs about peer
relationships. Based on thought-provoking discussions, engaging
games, strength-discovering exercises, and confidence-boosting fun,
the hands-on activities in Friendship and Other Weapons build
critical knowledge and friendship survival skills such as: *
Recognizing the Red Flags of Girl Bullying * Responding Assertively
to Bullying Behavior * Realizing Personal Strengths * Becoming an
Ally to Others Facing Bullying * Resolving Conflicts Directly *
Using Technology and Social Media Ethically This photocopiable
resource book provides educators, social workers and counsellors
with a complete, ready-to-use group curriculum to help young girls
aged 5-11 build constructive and fulfilling friendships.
Organised around the groundbreaking principles of 8 Keys to End
Bullying, the two-book 8 Keys to End Bullying Activity Program for
Kids & Tweens builds key social-emotional skills in readers
ages 8-12, empowering them to cope with conflict and end bullying
in their communities and schools. Younger kids can complete the
activities with a parent or teacher's guidance, while older kids
can complete the activities independently. These simple activities
cultivate (1) assertiveness, emotion management and friendship
skills in kids vulnerable to bullying, (2) problem-solving skills
for kids who witness bullying and (3) empathy and kindness skills
in kids who are likely to bully their peers.
Groundbreaking books have peered into the psychology of bullying
and the cultural climate that—seemingly now more than
ever—gives rise to such cruelty and aggression. But few have been
able to synthesize what we know into 8 simple, targeted “keys”
that equip educators, professionals, and parents with practical
strategies to tackle the issue head-on. This book answers that
call. Social media bullying—and the recent tragedies stemming
from it—has given the widespread problem a new dimension. While
no magic cure-all exists, adults can learn and implement all sorts
of quick and easy techniques that can make a huge difference in the
lives of kids. In 8 core strategies, this book lays them out, from
establishing meaningful connections with kids to creating a
positive school climate, addressing cyberbullying, building social
emotional competence, reaching out to bullies, empowering
bystanders, and much more.
Children and teenagers often struggle to cope with anger, and angry
feelings can boil over into aggression and destructive behaviour.
This updated and extended resource takes a different approach to
anger, teaching children how to be angry effectively, rather than
telling them not to be angry at all. Encouraging appropriate anger
management through group work and tailored lessons, the book is
also accompanied by downloadable additional resources demonstrating
the activities and offering adaptations for parents. Suitable for
use with children and teenagers aged 5 - 18, this engaging resource
will help children to overcome self-destructive patterns of
passive, aggressive, and passive aggressive behaviour.
The 8-12 age range marks a critical window of time in the social
and emotional development of kids, one in which adults are still
highly influential. The 8 Keys to End Bullying Activity Book
Companion Guide for Parents & Educators, enhances the role of
parents and educators in helping young people navigate challenging
social dynamics and overcome bullying. As a "leader's manual" for
The 8 Keys to End Bullying Activity Book for Kids & Tweens, it
provides helpful guidelines and vital background information for
leading kids and students through each of the activities and
lessons.
