Scarcely a day goes by without reports of school bullying or recommendations for quick fixes to the problem. Parents and educators are often left trying to solve a difficult issue without sufficient evidence to support suggested remedies. Children and Bullying is a vital resource in the quest to create safe learning environments. Drawing on a wealth of research, Ken Rigby provides clear explanations and effective strategies for combating bullying among children and preventing children from becoming involved in bullying situations.
- Offers a collaborative approach to the school-based bullying problem
- Emphasizes the crucial role student bystanders can play in countering bullying, and how to promote positive bystander behaviors
- Examines contentious research, such as the role genetics or parenting in early childhood may play in creating bullies and victims
- Answers to FAQs by parents in the final chapter are often controversial but intended to stimulate thought
?This is simply the best, most up-to-date, most detailed and most thoughtful book about school bullying that you could hope to find.? (Research Papers in Education, August 2009)
?It is a book for parents that draws extensively on research as well as being a practical manual that offers strategies to prevent and combat bullying. The book will certainly be a helpful one ? to educators as well as parents ? .Ken Rigby?s lucid writing style makes it an easy book to read ? .The author?s laudable aim ? to produce an academic book, research-based but accessible to a non-professional readership ? is an aim that is manifestly achieved. Children and Bullying contains a refreshing balance of anecdote and information, research and strategy. As a parent it is, for me, reassuring and eminently practical. As a teacher it provides a clear sense of direction in terms of what has been successful in other schools ? .And as someone who now who works with both teachers and parents, it is a book I shall recommend to both without hesitation.?
